Li'l Abner The Complete Dailies And Color Sundays, Vol. 6 1945-1946 - Al Capp

. .

Résumé :
Beware, readers, beware! Amidst such buxom beauties as Daisy Mae, Wolf Gal, and Moonbeam McSwine, nothing can prepare Abner—or you!—for (*choke*) Lena the Hyena, the woman so hideous, so frightening, that men literally leave their country to avoid her face. When Fearless Fosdick cartoonist Lester Gooch plans to bring Lena from Lower Slobbovia to America, it sets off a fantastic chain of events that ropes in Boris Karloff, Frank Sinatra, and Salvador Dali!

Meanwhile, super-jinx Joe Btfsplk returns—but the way trouble follows Li'l Abner around, it's as if Joe never left! When Dogpatch's most eligible (and reluctant!) bachelor falls for the man-crazy Prudence, Daisy Mae enlists top radio stars such as Sinatra and Kate Smith to sing Li'l Abner, Don't Marry That Girl! Abner then has a close shave with diva Barbara Seville, chews the fat with Wolf Gal, turns Sadie Hawkins Day into a pipe dream for fans of Moonbeam McSwine, and then rustles up six thousand ham sangwidges to save Dogpatch from the terrible turnip termites.

Biographie:
Al Capp (1909-1979) was born Alfred Gerald Caplin in New Haven, Connecticut. He created Li'l Abner in 1934. In addition to the enormous popularity of his comic strip, Capp was arguably the most famous cartoonist of his generation. He was a frequent and outspoken guest on 1940s and '50s television. The prolific satirist also wrote a syndicated newspaper column, had his own syndicated radio show, and was a frequent guest lecturer at campuses nationwide, a sideline that created a firestorm late in his career. Capp retired Li'l Abner in 1977 after a 43-year run, and died two years later.
