Boise Ed sends this in: “Here’s nother imaginative use of the Fourth Wall idea.”


I seem to remember Dagwood used to talk to the dog for this type of monologue, not directly to the reader.





Boise Ed notes, “You don’t get much more fourth-wall than this one.”
In the BC at the end, one might say that it’s the 2nd and 3rd walls that need concern!

True. Strictly speaking, it’s only breaking the fourth wall to acknowledge the audience.

Is the dog in a prison cell? Looks like bars on the window.

Blondie: September 8, 1930. Created by Chic Young, the strip initially featured Blondie as a flighty flapper dating Dagwood, the playboy son of a wealthy millionaire.
they married on February 17, 1933. Dagwood’s upper-crust parents strongly disapproved of the marriage, disinheriting him and forcing the couple to live a middle-class, suburban life.
Dagwood and Blondie are closing in on 120 years old. Lucky if she can find her house let alone her “cell phone”.

Pretty much. The strip is set in a concrete animal shelter. The bars are often seen.

Over in Gasoline Alley, Walt and Skeeziks are heading to Hootin’ Holler for Snuff Smith’s 107th anniversary, after he came to theirs. So, fourth wall or meta-comic or something. In the past they have visited the Old Comics Home.

If I had a dollar for every time husband has had to call my phone for me to find it – well, I could use our landline – yes we still have one- but it would cost us as we don’t have any minutes on our landline – just keep it for emergencies or for those who we do not want to have our cell phone numbers.
Oh, the answer is I would have all his dollars from his pocket and we would have to go to the bank to get more of them for him – or he would take the dollars back from me to pay the tip in the restaurant.
