NEW YORK The 75th anniversary of "Blondie" is Sept. 8, but the comic will begin marking the milestone this Sunday.

In the July 10 strip, "Blondie" writer Dean Young will start a three-month continuous story line -- the longest in the strip's history. The sequence will center on Blondie and Dagwood planning a major wedding anniversary, according to King Features Syndicate, which distributes the comic to more than 2,300 newspapers.

Dean is the son of "Blondie" creator Chic Young (1901-1973).
