Li'l Abner Dailies #26

This handsome hardcover collects Al Capp's complete 1960 daily strips, and the cover sets the satirical tone perfectly: a raucous crowd of Dogpatch characters surges forward brandishing signs reading "Fosdick or Else!!", "Fosdick Is Our Ideel," and "Bring Him Back," while a large, bespectacled figure looms in the foreground — all of it rendered in Capp's wonderfully expressive cartoon style. The scene captures everything that made Li'l Abner such a sharp, affectionate send-up of American life, with mob enthusiasm and political absurdity played for maximum laughs. Kitchen Sink Press's ongoing reprint series continues to do this beloved strip proud, and this 1960 volume is a genuinely satisfying addition to any shelf.
