On the surface, the Bumsteads appear to have it made. Their problems are typical, even mundane. Dagwood naps too much. His boss is a dick. His daughter's boobs are conspicuously large. His wife... well, Blondie is pretty much perfect. It's like the plot of (insert your favorite fat guy/hot wife sitcom). Except the guy isn't fat. Whatever.Upon closer inspection, however, it becomes clear that there's something completely f'd up about this family: the men and women come from different species. The ladies have this weird hyper-realistic thing going on (their impressive proportions notwithstanding). They have real-lookin' mouths and eyes, for example. Then the guys have this weird hyper-retarted thing going on. The vertical, oval eyes with no whites. And the mouths? Simple black lines. Then there are those terrifying tufts of hair they have jutting out like alien antennae. Shit's weird.
So... what the hell is going on here? Are the Bumstead men aliens? Is Blondie aware she's been shagging a martian all these years? Is Julius C. Dithers wrapped up in all this?!??! Hell if I know. I just complain about the stuff.
