Day Thirty-five: "Dagwood"

This man should need no introduction, but just in case, this is Dagwood Bumstead of serial comic strip Blondie fame. And in his hands is the iconic "Dagwood sandwich."

No, my mother is not blonde--could you guess from my jet black hair?--but this comic has a special connection for us given our shared, unusual last names.

According to the wikipedia entry on Dagwood Bumstead (yes, I know it is not the best source), the comic first appeared some time before February 17, 1933, which would be seventy-eight years ago yesterday. Coincidentally, eleven years ago yesterday, my dad moved on to a better place.

So, in his honour, I made a PCP Dagwood sandwich, all portions weighed out for lunch, of course.

Here's to you, Dad.
