Magazine Search SHARE The Unlovable Founder of Dogpatch FACEBOOK Al Capp's "Li'l Abner" comic strip gave the world dopey Abner and voluptuous Daisy Mae, as well as expressions like "going bananas" and the TWITTER"double-whammy." EMAIL By Edward Kosner Feb. 22, 2013 3:22 pm ET PERMALINK SAVE PRINT TEXT When I was a kid, my randy pals and I were fascinated by the accepted wisdom that Al Capp's "Li'l Abner" comic strip was a trove of pornographic images if you only knew where to look. The idea was that if you clipped the image of a recumbent Daisy Mae from one frame and superimposed on it a sketch of Abner from another, you'd have—well, you get the picture. We never scored, but not for lack of squinting. It turns out that, back in the 1950s, congressional committees actually pored over photostats of Capp strips surreptitiously provided by a resentful rival cartoonist looking for crypto-smut, but they failed to find damning examples. This is but one of the indelicate tales told in Michael Schumacher and Denis Kitchen's "Al Capp: A Life to the Contrary," the first biography of a man who was a pop-cultural comet for four decades but has faded today into a Wikipedia entry. -
Why Did the Mainstream Media Ignore Al Capp's 100Th Birthday?
Why did the mainstream media ignore Al Capp’s 100th birthday? excerpted from the July 2010 edition of Christian Crusade Newspaper now in our 58th year of publication ~ www.ChristianCrusade.com Billy James Hargis II, publisher ~ Keith Wilkerson, managing editor The 100th birthday of cartoonist Al Capp, has come and gone, ignored by the hundreds of newspapers that used to carry his satirical daily comic strip “Li’l Abner,” In today’s politically correct environment, Capp’s centennial didn’t rate mention since he was a conservative who mercilessly made fun of such liberal heroes as Franklin Roosevelt, Lyndon Johnson and Teddy Kennedy. His comic strip began in 1934, when the 25-year-old cartoonist had an idea for a daily comic strip featuring hillbillies. He’d just spent several years ghostwriting “Joe Palooka,” a popular strip by cartoonist Ham Fisher, who hired Capp when he ran out of ideas. Capp’s new strip starred Li’l Abner Yokum Abner was the simple and muscular, poor but lazy, uneducated but good-natured hero of Dogpatch. He lived with Mammy and Pappy Yokum and devoted much of his energy into avoiding matrimony with the beautiful, intelligent and industrious Daisy Mae, his devoted and faithful girlfriend. During the 1950s, Capp surrendered to pressure from the strip’s millions of daily fans and let the couple marry. Their wedding was such a national event that the happy couple made the cover of Life magazine. When it debuted, Li’l Abner was picked up by only eight newspapers. However in the midst of the Great Depression, the poor but always hopeful Dogpatchers were a nationwide hit. -

Four StarsBy Client d'go on for the next volume1 of 2 people found the following review helpful. Lena the Hyena and moreBy Lonnie L. AnixtWho can imagine where the idea came from, but come it did in the spring of 1946 Al Capp gave to the world Lena the Hyena the certifiable ugliest girl in creation or imagination , and ohh the fun he had with her. The Lil Abner comic strip was already one of the most famous and highly read comic strip back in the days before television when most people got their news from news papers and comic strips were one of the great forms of entertainment. But after the war it hit new highs in creativity, maybe it became more interesting because the world itself became more interesting, the art world in particularly found a new creative spirit in the post war years, there was a new way of looking at things, new painters, new writers, all that death and dying led to a new gestalt, a inner thinking, turned upside down, from Jackson Pollock to tennesee williams to Arthur miller and Marlon Brando it was a new time-a great time for the arts, and in a way Al Capp joined in with all that energy and from 1946 on his strip hit new stride in creativity as well as popularity. -
