Blondie is a stick figure character in xkcd. She is distinguished by her long blonde hair. Like most other xkcd characters, she does not necessarily represent the same character from comic to comic.

Characteristics

Blondie is a minor character in xkcd, but has had several appearances without ever being named in general.

She is the most used character for presenting news reports, even beating Cueball with 9 vs 8 news anchor appearances.

There are other three minor characters who have the same appearance as Blondie, and are thus subcategories of her, just like Rob is for Cueball. Those three are the teacher Miss Lenhart, the hacker Mrs. Roberts, and the adult version of her daughter Help I'm trapped in a driver's license factory Elaine Roberts.

Blondie is not the same character from comic to comic. She is mainly just another woman that Randall can use when he wishes to give a woman a specific characteristic so to set her aside from the more commonly used women Megan and Ponytail. She is rarely depicted together with other women, but when she takes on her most reprised role as a news anchor she is typically alone on screen.

She is occasionally portrayed as a mathematician, possibly meant to represent Miss Lenhart. However, since she is not actually teaching, she is still referred to as Blondie. For more information, see to the Math teacher section on Miss Lenhart's page.

Blondie appears to be the wife of a Cueball-like in 275: Thoughts. In 416: Zealous Autoconfig and 342: 1337: Part 2, both Miss Lenhart and Mrs. Roberts are portrayed as mothers with at least two children. Blondie is also depicted as a mother in a few other comics, such as:
