Recently I noticed that these were not reruns that were done by Smythe. I thought that they were. It was brought to my attention by complaints by you that they did not measure up to his (Smythe) standards. It was a wise decision when Al Capp ended Lil Abner when he passed away. He was a master at skewing anybody that needed skewing. His mocking the hippies of the sixties with S.W.I.N.E. – students wildly indignant about nearly every thing was a classic or his 50’s jab at General Motors with his take off of Wilson’s quote with General Bullmoose Motor when General Bullmoose said “what is good for General BullMoose is good for America”.
I have been reading Lil Abner since the late 30’’s. and am rereading them again thanks to Go Comics. It is sad that they do not run the Sunday full page for that is where Al really was able to go full out with issues of the day.
