  • Li'l Abner in Washington Today by Irv Sternberg a New York Mayor Read
    Imagine: Li’l Abner in Washington Today By Irv Sternberg A New York mayor read them to children on the radio every Sunday morning. Some mimicked real people. They offered a daily respite from the dark days of the Depression, and were part of my life in the thirties and forties. My favorite comic strips as a child growing up in that period were ‘Li’l Abner,’ ‘Prince Valiant,’ ‘Dick Tracy,’ ‘Blondie,’ and ‘Rex Morgan, MD.’ Some can still be read in certain newspapers, a testimonial to their popularity over the decades. I’ve always favored cartoons that featured quirky characters in uncluttered drawings and told funny or exciting stories in a crisp style. I was amused by Li’l Abner and his friends in hillbilly country, by the well-told adventures and beautifully drawn panels of ‘Prince Valiant’ in the days of King Arthur, and by tough, square- jawed Dick Tracy who introduced the two-way radio wristwatch and the police procedural genre to the comic strips. Now, in the winter of my life, I still read the comics. My current favorites are ‘Pickles,’ ‘Zits,’ ‘Pluggers,’ ‘Luann,’ and ‘Beetle Bailey.’ I like ‘Pickles’ and ‘Pluggers’ because the writers seem to be eavesdropping on my life. In ‘Pickles,’ I relate to his characters, Earl and Opal. I recognize the oddball situations and sometimes testy conversation between these two old-timers. ‘Pluggers’ seems to be based on hilarious situations too close for comfort. ‘Zits’ is about a self-centered, self-indulgent teenager whose behavior is so outrageous I’m just grateful he’s not mine.
