The large brick wall outside 108 Contemporary’s Gallery in downtown Tulsa will soon get a whole new cover made entirely out of yarn.

Groups of knitters across the state are teaming up for a massive art project called “The Unbearable Absence of Landscapes.”

Had a chance to acquire the complete set of Blondie movies. These ran from Blondie (1938) through Beware of Blondie (1950).

Dagwood was played by Arthur Lake. Blondie was played in the films by Penny Singleton. Lake and Singleton also appeared in a half-hour "Blondie" radio series which ran from 1939 to 1950, airing on CBS, ABC and finally on NBC.

There was a TV series, Blondie, which ran for one season of 26 episodes. Arthur Lake reprised his role as Dagwood. Blondie in the TV series was played by Pamela Britton.

Although Lake had been in film since 1917, the Blondie TV series was his last role.

Pamela Britton went on to play Mrs. Lorelei Brown on the original My Favorite Martian TV series.

Penny Singleton became the voice of Jane Jetson, in the Jetsons animated TV series and specials.

Still pondering whether to acquire the Blondie movies. Would I ever watch them?
