Indexer Notes

Elliott Caplin's memories of his brother, Al Capp. Photo caption states, "[Andy] Amato was Capp's chief assistant for decades. [Walter] Johnson was responsible for mechanical objects, and Harvey Curtis... did lettering and filled-in black areas on the strip. All four worked on the storyline, with Capp being the final arbiter of the plot."

Notable story arcs include: Lower Slobbovia seeks a U.S. loan; Dogpatch insures Li'l Abner, whose death seems imminent; Li'l Abner seeks Stanley Steamer; Roundheels tries to cook Salomey, but boils himself down when she escapes; Fearless Fosdick captures Anyface; Lonesome Polecat reclaims Chicago; Skleton McCloset tries to kill Daisy Mae for musical inspiration; Phogbound University (P.U.) opens in Dogpatch; Evil-Eye Fleegle puts a whammy on the football team; a Viking maiden is thawed out from the ice, and almost captures Li'l Abner on Sadie Hawkins Day. Two strips are mostly photos by Joe Costa.
