  • Blondie 16 April: In-joke?

    From Ted Nolan @21:1/5 to All on Sun Apr 16 05:14:13 2023

    Is this some reference to the strip's history or what?
    It just feels like it must be some kind of in-joke.

    How can you tell it's an in-joke? I know Blondie has destroyed Dagwood's found hats in the past.

    Well, if it's not, I couldn't. It just felt oddly specific and not that funny on its own.

    Prior to 2012, when a redesign was done to make the mascot look more child-like, Chuck E. Cheese sported a red derby.
