5) A marriage for funny pages: On this day in 1933, Blondie Boopadoop married her boyfriend, Dagwood Bumstead, after much fanfare. Blondie, the main character in Chic Young's comic strip that bears her name, wasn't the wife and mother we see today. According to Wikipedia, she was originally a carefree flapper girl who spent her days in dance halls. Dagwood was the son of wealthy industrialists who opposed the marriage because of Blondie's lower class status and disinherited him. However, the couple married anyway, proving that even in ink love wins out.
