"Snap Out Of It (Miami Fire)"

Arthur the Octopus

"They always want me to say who is the best writer in America today, and I can't think of any name but Al Capp... One of the symptoms or diagnostics of literature should be that it is read, that it amuses, moves, instructs, changes and criticizes people. And who in the world does that more than Capp? I think Capp may very possibly be the best writer in the world today."
-John Steinbeck, 1953

L'il Abner Salutes Orange Crush!

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."

I'm not exactly sure what's going on with Moonbeam and the pig.



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...

What strange things do you think the kids saw when they were searching for tigers?

In other news, more on one of the bizarre Japanese spas I mentioned last month: Hakone Yunessun, a place where the whole family can bathe in wine while they drink it.

Cracking the wrong joke can land you in jail

Apparently, Burma's junta only tolerate jokes in English. Perhaps because they don't understand them?

Lu Maw said that everyone in Myanmar was busy trying to keep up with rising prices, which is what drove people onto the streets to protest in August. He noted that Par Par Lay was sentenced in 1996 to "seven years for one joke" at Aung San Suu Kyi's place. Now, thanks to inflation, Lu Maw cracked, you make "two jokes and get 100 years in prison."

This is a psychiatrist!

"This is a psychiatrist! Into his peaceful, tastefully-decorated, subdued office come the tormented and the driven, seeking to unravel the tangled emotional skeins that cloud and knot their broken lives... "



When I came across this Psychoanalysis Flickr set (via Dadanoias) I was curious what the stories were about so I did a bit of Googling...

During a tide of public concern about the effect of comics on children, in 1955 EC Comics created a series of new 'more wholesome' titles. One of which, was a four part comic series about psychoanalysis.
The public concern was largely in response to the views of psychiatrist Fredric Wertham. He argued, in his book Seduction of the Innocent, that the gaudy comics of the time were a major cause of juvenile delinquency

Of these, the subject—sorry, the partner—with whom LGBT readers are most likely to relate is poor Freddy Carter, a freckle-faced fifteen-year-old kleptomaniac whose mom calls him a victim and whose dad calls him a sissy. Well, unless the most current definition of metrosexual is "unbalanced, spider-fingered, and whinier than David Gest after an unanesthetized facelift," we're going to go along with dad on this'un, junior. But this is Prism Comics—we don't judge! Even if you end up liking girls, Freddy, you'll be okay in our book. But you'll still be a sissy.

Although every patient is much better by the end of their session, the psychiatrist reminds the reader that they’ll be able to check back in on the patients in the next issue of Psychoanalysis. The series only lasted four issues, so I hope the patients didn’t need long term counseling.
