Indexer Notes

Many of the strips reprinted include generally sequential codes from about 78-D to about 211-D, but only 108 out of these 134 strips are included. The story of Blue Nose and Thorn-Apple ran from October 1946 to January 1947. This reprint appears to start about a month prior to that story-line. These strips don't seem to have been published in Australian newspapers.

Pleased the war with Lem is over, King Guzzle relaxes. Alley Oop searches for Foozy and Ooola shows Queen Umpateedle how to look beautiful like a 20th century woman. Oop meets Foozys three kids and his wife Zel. While Oop and Foozy reminisce, the kids get bored. They beat up a local kid and ride Oop's dinosaur. A mob arrives in response to the kids' claim their father and Oop could 'whip our whole neighborhood'. Panicked by Oop's readiness to take them on, the men fight each other. Ooola arrives and blames the brawl on Oop.
