Measures 19'' x 5'', in very good plus condition.
Second strip is dated 18 February, with no label, but 1932 based on content.

Measures 21.25'' x 5.625''. Dampstaining and soiling, overall in fair to good condition.
Fourth strip is dated 1 February 1933, just a few weeks before Blondie and Dagwood would finally marry.
