Li'l Abner by Al Capp for March 17, 2013

Here we go again!

(And again . . . and again . . . and again . . .)

Anyone got a magnifying glass?

Aw, shucks! I wanted to see the rest of the series again. Why don’t they play the next years? Too political?

They have skipped everything from the end of 1951 to the end of 1955.

On GoComics, you can usually left-click the comic to get an enlarged copy on your screen. Simply using “control +” magnifies the page, but the comic becomes more blurry each time you step up the magnification.

Groundhog Day in Dogpatch, USA.

The date of this very first Abner strip was, I believe, August 19, 1934.

at the moment I can’t get it to enlarge.sigh.

My MAC did 425% before the blurr set in.

whoops! not the [option] key hold the MAC control key. It has an apple core symbol on it . The space bar has them on either side.

I was just noticing how similar original Abner and Disney Peter Pan are in expression.

well, welcome back after the strip went MIA for a few days.

Apparently their supply of strips is rather limited.

Finally Abner is back. I guess this must have been very early on. Mammy and Pappy are taller and Abner is less muscular. They are barely recognizable.
