☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeThis collection brings together the complete run of the 2002 comic series 'The Short Life and Happy Times of the Shmoo,' published by Overlook Press. It chronicles the whimsical yet poignant adventures of the Shmoo, a beloved and innocent creature from Al Capp's 'Li'l Abner' universe, exploring its brief existence and the joy it brings to those around it. The volume reprints the entire story arc, capturing the charm and satirical edge of the original material.
In this 2002 Overlook Press release, Al Capp brings his beloved comic strip icon back to life in The Short Life and Happy Times of the Shmoo, a story where Li'l Abner discovers the Shmoos in the Valley of the Shmoon and returns them to Dogpatch. With their magical ability to grant any food desire, the Shmoos quickly upend the world economy—much to the delight of some and the dismay of others. Written, drawn, inked, and lettered by Al Capp, with cover art by Al Capp, this collection captures the whimsy and satire that made the Shmoo a cultural phenomenon.
