Blondie (1938 film) Blondie (1938 film) Blondie is a 1938 movie directed by Frank Strayer, based on the comic strip of the same name, created by Chic Young.

However, only two such films were made, "Gasoline Alley" (1951)
Herman (comic strip) All characters are rendered in Unger's unique style as hulking, beetle-browed figures with pronounced noses and jaws, and often sport comically understated facial expressions.

Unger received the National Cartoonists Society's Newspaper Panel Cartoon Award for 1982 and 1987 for his work on the strip.
