In "A Goof Named Tiny Rufe," cartoonist Al Hatt channels the spirit of Al Capp’s Li'l Abner with a playful, hillbilly-inspired satire, crafting a zany tale where a mischievous young man named Tiny Rufe stumbles into trouble—just as Al Hatt, determined to keep his rural inspirations from tying the knot, finds himself caught in a comedic whirlwind of mistaken identities and rural shenanigans.
