Th'Offishul Drink of Dogpatch!
"With Li'l Abner," writes Richard Marschall, "Capp was calling society absurd, not just silly; human nature not simply misguided, but irredeemably and irreducibly corrupt. Unlike any other strip, and indeed unlike many other pieces of literature, Li'l Abner was more than a satire of the human condition. It was a commentary on human nature itself."

Wasn't L'il Abner an influence on Robert Crumb? Odd memories of encountering Crumb's brother meditating on Market St. to be told later...
