Baby Dumpling (Larry Simms) decides it's time to be called by his real name, "Alexander". Daisy has just had her puppies. When Dagwood (Arthur Lake) runs home he thought it was Blondie (Penny Singleton). Blondie's time is about to occur as well. Alexander and Alvin (Danny Mummert) are doing the housework. Later at the hospital, Dagwood explains to Alexander why Blondie must be in the hospital and the truth about the stork business. Alvin sets Dagwood straight almost telling too much. Well, Alvin and Dagwood both told the truth, right? (Very good and tender father and son scene) At just the right time, Blondie has the baby and it's a...well, you'll have to watch the film to find out. This is one of the finest Blondie movies ever made in the film series. It is okay for children to watch. Parents should watch this delightful film with the kids. This film would be a wonderful gift for all pregnant women.
Hans Conried plays "Mr. Wickley". Mary Wickes plays the Broadway-bound maid. The baby is Norma Jean Wayne. The next film in the series is BLONDIE FOR VICTORY.

I look back rather fondly on these old Blondie films. Back growing up as a kid in the late 1960's and early 1970's they used to show them every weekend and i would watch them with my dad who had watched them himself in the theatres when he was just about my age back in the late 30's and 40's. I always found them hilarious, slapstick fun as a kid and while they don't pack quite the same punch today as they did back then they are still good fun.

This film follows the events in "Blondie Goes to College" where we learned that Blondie was pregnant, In this film both of the bumbstead women...Blondie and Daisy the Dog, have puppies..err...I mean give birth. Blondie gives birth to the newest offspring Cookie, while Dagwood stumbles over himself trying to explai,n childbirth to Alexander. One of the funniest entries in the series filled with some wonderful slapstick. This episode is also sweet and heartwarming and highly anticipated back in the 1940's.
