During the early years of the strip, the Sunday installments were much in the vein of the then-popular genre of "pretty girl" strips, rather than spoofing them like in the daily continuities, including a series of different suitors, most notably Hiho Hennepin, a short character who played a similar role to the one held by "Dumb Dora"'s boyfriend Rod. In fact, Dagwood did actually not appear at all in a Sunday page until late 1931, and was only regularly featured in these beginning on January 29, 1933.
