Dagwood originally inherited a fortune, but when he married Blondie, which his family considered to be below his social standing, they disowned him. His love for Blondie therefore cost him dearly. He then started working at a construction company called J. C. Dithers & Company, where his boss is the very unpopular Mr J C Dithers.

Dagwood has a couple of things that he loves, including his kids, naps on the sofa, food and long baths. He also has quite a number of things he hates: Door-to-door salesmen, store salespeople, and persistent telemarketers.

The series proved so popular that over the years it spread into other media as well. It became a star attraction in many daily newspapers. Radio shows were dedicated to the couple, and a whole series of films called Blondie were produced between 1938 and 1950.

During the period 1968-69 a TV series was produced in which Will Hutchins played Dagwood. Dagwood and his wife make several cameo appearance in other television series after that, including Garfield Gets Real and Mother Goose and Grimm.
