Do you think the occassional long running grudge between Dagwood Bumstead and Dagwood's boss Mr. Dithers in the Blondie comic strip has gone too far? Dagwood asks for some raise and never gets it. And Dithers once in a while fires or threatens to fire Dagwood from work.

On a related note, I really enjoyed Today's strip.

One can expect to see Dagwood to show up at work with the pillow on his back Tomorrow (HUMP DAAAAYYYY!!!!!). Love the commercial.

Heck, they used to go into the Whirling Vortex of Violence at least
once a week.

Also, there's an occassional time when Mr. Dithers kicks Dagwood from Dag's behind ("THAT FOR YOU!")

OH, I forgot the kick sound effect of "BOOM!"

And even their office relationship was more finely drawn in the 30s and 40s.
