Any fans?

Just that

I was called Lil Abner by a former construction company boss. That was 28 years ago.

That is all

YES

Daisy Mae

Never heard of it

The name of our tom cat.

I use to read back in the days

Joe Btfsplk is my hero

AaaaabNuuuur!...

Not many folks know who "Li'l Abner" is.
He was Mammy and Pappy Yokum's son. He was married (?) to Daisy Mae*. He was a mattress tester at a local mattress factory! They lived in "Dog Patch". The cartoon was called "Dogpatch USA".
It was created by cartoonist Al Capp. Capp created a cast of characters that was amazing.
My sister, my dad and myself spent Sunday morning reading the comics out of the Sunday paper.
Dallas Morning News was standard fare. Occasionally, we'd get a Houston Chronicle.
When my sister married and moved to Tyler, we started getting the Tyler Morning Telegraph.

* - Daisy Mae was the inspiration for "Dukes of Hazzard's" Daisy Duke's skimpy blue jean shorts.

Used to pheasant hunt with him all the time. Boy could he run a pump gun.

Used to read the comic all the time- - - -sort of lost interest when Al Capp got busted for pedophilia.

Used to read it in the newspaper comics when I was a kid. Never cared much for that one as I remember.

-Ken

I am not. Just thayt

When I was a kid, there was a Hamburger place called Joe Btfspk's Hamburger Haven - incredible burgers.

Barney Google and Snuffy Smith; that is alll.

Fantastic comic but not for MORONS. Pogo was better.

Never cared for it. (Although I did get hauled out of a tree during a Sadie Hawkins Day race at church camp.) I am sure that it was because I couldn't stand Mammy Yokum. The same thing held for Beverly Billhillies because of that detestable Granny character.

It was made into a Broadway musical play. I was the student director when our high school put it on.

Good characters;

General Bullmoose--What's good for General Bullmoose is good for the USA.
Progress is the rood of all evil, progress is the heart of it all.
I want to join a golf course, where?
They've built a supermarket there.


Moonbeam McSwine--Howdy boys, I'm Moonbeam McSwine. Sleepin' out with the pigs is my line. The fellas' admire me but they don't squire me lessen the weather is fine.

Earthquake McGoon

Mammy Yokum--I's sweet and I's mystical, and pugilistical. Matter of fact I'se champeen.

Jubilation P. Cornpone--When we fought the yankees and annihilation was near, who was there to lead us safe to the rear?
When we almost had 'em but the issue still was in doubt,
Who was there to turn around and turn it into a rout?

Oh happy day when miracles take place,
And scientists control the human race.
When we produce from chromosomes
Gargantuans and gnomes
And assembly line women,
Conveyor belt men,
Settle down in push button homes.


Those were the days.

Back when I was in high school (in Austin) there was a topless club in an old house just down from 45th st. On N. Lamar named Lil’ Abners. Full of UT chicks working their way thru college.

And I seem to remember here it n the fire, waaaaaay back in the day, that General Jubalation T. Cornpone was called back into active service during the C o o n wars.

Fearless Fodstick, Greatest cartoon cop.

Lonesome Polecat!

Earthquake Magoon!

Sorry but Wendy Wildcat was much hawtter than Daisy Mae!

Loved Lil' Abner

Thank you!!

Don't forget Moonbeam McSwine. She was a dirty, lazy, do nothing who was always after Abner.

❤️❤️❤️❤️. Forgot. Damn we are old

Hell to the yeah fo my man Lil’ Abner.

Don't forget Sadie Hawkins!

Abner was a lazy, shiftless do nothing who never worked. But, he was crazy handsome and the ladies were all after him. After he married Daisy Mae, he still never worked and she had to do everything. But, she was in love and didn't care.

Often wondered if she could cook sweet patootie as good a Mammy Yoakum???

He may have fostered my interest in mushrooms.

Just a coincidence, wife and I watched the 1939 Lil Abner movie just a couple of days ago. It was funny and well done.

Attempted Adultery, you may have mis-remembered the charge.

I was in error here. Abner DID have a job - he worked at a mattress factory as a mattress tester. He'd go to work and sleep all day testing their mattresses.

I'm pretty sure you all are mis-rememberin'...those weren't the comics...those were the funny papers...comics were what comedians were called...or short, for comic books...thc

Hell no.

Hell yes and Snuffy Smith

Anybody else remember "Our Boarding House" and "The Katzenjammer Kids"? How about "Binging Up Father"?

Actually, the charges were for sodomy. This was at a time whe he was at war with Joan Baez, whom he referred to as “ Joanie Phoney”.
