Reviews

[Richard Tremblay · Rating 3 out of 5]

Malgré le côté vieillot de ce strip, les gags fonctionnent généralement plutôt bien. C'est dû au personnage central, Dagwood Bumstead, un américain docile et innocent.

Beaucoup de gags récurrents : le 'diner' ni gastronomique, ni hygiénique, le voisin emprunteur d'objets, le boss tyrannique, l'épouse pragmatique...

Classique et rigolo.

“The Best of Blonde” by Dean Young and Jim Raymond was originally published 1973 and updated numerous times until 1977.
The comic strips are very entertaining and reflect in a meaningful way the social attitudes of the 1970s. (P)
