Li'l Abner
"Li'l Abner" is a comic strip created by cartoonist Al Capp, first published in 1934. It follows the life of Li'l Abner Yokum, a good-natured but simple-minded man living in the fictional Appalachian town of Dogpatch. The strip humorously explores themes of rural life, social issues, and American culture through its quirky characters and satirical storylines.
The comic features a cast of memorable characters, including Abner's love interest, Daisy Mae, and the scheming, wealthy businessman, General Bullmoose. Over its run, "Li'l Abner" became known for its clever wordplay and social commentary, influencing popular culture and inspiring adaptations in theater and film, including a Broadway musical.
