* AccidentalInnuendo: In one very old strip, Dagwood is explaining to Alexander about how to make a DagwoodSandwich, explaining what each ingredient brings to the whole. He explains to Alexander that "The sausage makes it gay". Yes, Dagwood, I believe it would..... but '''''not''''' [[HavingAGayOldTime these days!]]
* MemeticMutation: "Don't touch that dial!" originated as a CatchPhrase that Creator/{{CBS}} announcer Hanley Stafford used to open the ''Blondie'' radio show each week.
* OlderThanTheyThink: A few visual gags actually came ''from'' this:
** The DagwoodSandwich is the TropeNamer. A surprising amount of people think it came from ''WesternAnimation/ScoobyDoo''.
** The visual gag of someone carrying a bunch of boxes with only their legs visible in fact came from this comic strip.
* ParodyDisplacement: The strip started out as a parody of the many "pretty girl" melodramas (like ''Tillie the Toiler'') that spread on the funny pages during the late 1920s and early 1930s, but became forgotten in the ensuing decades.
* ProtagonistTitleFallacy: While the strip is ''named'' "Blondie", Dagwood is more often than not the centric character in a strip.
* RetroactiveRecognition: "Blondie, [[WesternAnimation/TheJetsons stop this crazy thing!]]"[[note]]That said, Penny Singleton originally started out as a film actress, which is what she was known for at the time, but is best remembered today for a role that some have suspected to be a Blondie {{Expy}} (additionally, her husband got fired and rehired almost if not [[GeorgeJetsonJobSecurity just as]] [[TropeNamer often]] as Dagwood).[[/note]]
