Talk:Dondi

Updated
Updated to show the significance it undoubtedly had in the growth of American multiculturalism.
 * Indeed, someone should update this page with a short bio about Dondi and his influence on the hiphop graffiti movement. I would, except this ip has been barred from editing due to vandalism. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 137.164.142.2 (talk • contribs).

Image of Dondi would be nice
I just stumbled across this page and memories of reading this strip as a child in the late 1960s and early 1970s came flooding back to me. I would love to see someone include an image of Dondi but sadly, I am not very adept at uploading pix to Wikipedia and dealing with all the Copyright issues. If a more experienced editor would take this on, I'd be grateful. Lisapollison 05:56, 27 February 2007 (UTC)

Dondi's Origins
The first paragraph under "Characters and Story" is almost completely wrong. I don't know where the information came from -- maybe from the movie, which I've never seen -- but the storyline in the comic strip, as reprinted in Dondi Vol. 1 from Classic Comics Press, is completely different. Dondi never knew his parents or his name. The two soldiers found him freezing in a bombed-out building. According to the strip of 10/14/1955 (and the Mark Evanier POV column already cited in the footnotes of the Wiki article), he misunderstood when a Red Cross worker called him a "dandy boy," and took "Dondi" as his name. If no one has any dispute, I'll update the article.

Janssen who?
The sentence, "Produced and directed by Albert Zugsmith, the film was released 26 March 1961.[5] Film historian Leonard Maltin asserted, â€œWatch this film, and you'll know why Janssen became a fugitive!â€" needs some setup, as well as character correction.
