Here’s an example I scanned from November 15, 1931 of Blondie, along with the header strip The Family Foursome by Chic Young. The early Blondie strips that I have read from before it became a formulaic routine of sandwich and angry boss strips are quite fun and charming. The strip premiered in September 1930, so this is a little over a year into it.
Please be advised that like many of the comic strips of the era, it contains offensive racial depictions. If this sort of thing offends you, you may not want to view it.
