    OK, once more, here’s you do it. It’s really quite simple. Download it. Open it in Windows Paint. Click on Rotate. Click on Flip Horizontal. Easy schmeezy.

    I get it. The universe has expanded as far as it will go and now it’s going in reverse. Li’l Abner is only the first sign of this happening. Pretty soon everything will be like “Benjamin Buttons” or an episode “Red Dwarf”. You guys are just ahead of your time.

    Dang. It’s like deja vu all over again.-————————Panel 1Bessie: Why, Upshaw! You look positively green!Upshaw: Oh, Madame, He’s gone! – Your nephew – KIDNAPPED! He left this note!

    Panel 2Note Text: Deer Aunt Bessie: A couple of fellers is Kidnappin me. They had shootin irons but ah rassled em and now ah got em. Ah is glad to git Kidnapped on account of Mimi can’t find me now. Dont worry about me. Ah is feelin fine. Love, Li’l Abner

    Panel 3Bessie: The poor boy probably wrote this note just to ease my mind. Oh! – It’s horrible to think of him at the mercy of those beasts!

    MEANWHILE – AT THE GANGSTER’S HIDE OUT IN AN EAST SIDE TENEMENT.

    Panel 4Abner: Sorry Ah had to tie yo’ fellas up but Ah can’t trust yo’ to stay put while Ah goes out fo’ samwidges. Whut kind does yo’ want, ham or cheese?-————————As far as actually commenting on the comic itself, I don’t have anything to say except that although Abner’s grammar is lacking, his penmanship is impeccable. Since he writes words exactly the way that he says them, I’m guessing that he’s gotten himself seriously hooked on phonics.

    What a first! On my computer, the strip is correct for the first time in three cycles – however it is in mirror if magnified! Progress.

    I have been reading Li’l Abner since the 1940’s until Capp &/or the newspapers stopped it. What else can I say?
