More than fifty years ago, America was taken by storm when Al Capp introduced the Shmoo in his comic strip Li’l Abner and continued drawing Lil’ Abner until 1977. The adorable squash-shaped character was so popular it immediately spawned the largest merchandising craze in the nation’s history. With their first appearence in 1934, Capp’s gang of Dogpatch hillbillies struck a chord with Depression-plagued Americans, and the strip was soon an overwhelming success. In the words of Life magazine, the nation was “Shmoo-struck.” The Short Life and Happy Times of the Shmoo collects, for the first time in one volume, Capp’s essential comic strips about the Shmoo. This is Al Capp and his incisive social criticism at its best. Out of Print. Condition: Fine. Slight bumping on 2 corners of the book and 1 on the dust jacket.
