    During 2007 and 2008, this site gave access to the entire history of the strip (minus the missing ones), accessed by the original dates. The one shown here ran on May 31, 1948. Following that, it jumped to the end of 1951, for three days. Then, it began a run of every day through 1952, 1953, 1954 and 1955. It stopped at that point.

    Now, we find that they re-started the strip on May 15, but it was inaccessible until today.

    Oops! That last comment was from several days ago, when the strip for May 15 was being shown every day.

    May 14th! It’s just too early to be doing this. Doesn’t matter though, my comments never show up after I leave the page.

    Agreed. With such a huge archive of stories, why keep running the same ones over and over?

    Could we start again somewhere around 1950?

    It appears this apx 10 months? over and over are the only strips not being held in a copyright. The others can be found if you know where to look, ie the time they went to Boston in February to pick oranges etc.I’m betting they are just whetting appetites so when they publish a complete book of Lil Abner, there will be lines forming to buy it – like the ones that formed for Windows 2000 – lines blocks long with people with $100 bills in hand. As I recall that photo was taken in a country where we were being begged to send money to feed their starving kids. (But they had money for a computer upgrade?)

    A complete book of Li’l Abner? The Kitchen Sink Press collection of dailies from 1934 to 1961 is 27 volumes long. I see no way that a complete book of all Li’l Abner strips, dailies and Sundays, 1934 to 1978, could possibly be published. Nobody could lift it, unless the strips were all so small that nobody could read them.

    The Library of American Comics has so far published 4 beautiful volumes of Li’l Abner dailies and Sundays, covering 1934 to 1942. See http://www.libraryofamericancomics.com/catalog/series/1101

    These volumes cost $49 apiece.
