The strip was [[EarlyInstallmentWeirdness very different in its early years]]; Dagwood was originally depicted as a playboy and heir to the Bumstead Locomotive fortune, but was disowned after he married a flapper (originally known as Blondie Boopadoop) whom his family saw as being below their class.
