JamesHOST
if they
JakeHOST
musicalised Little Abner, you would think someone's at least attempted asterisks.
JamesHOST
Because is there a link between those two? Is
JakeHOST
Little Abner like a similar, is it a comic? Are they all El Cap comics? Because Little Abner, yeah, was a comic.
JakeHOST
And it's sort of a similar style to Asterix and Obelisk.
JakeHOST
Yes, to our relatively untrained eyes when it comes to...
Eve ArdenVOICE_ACTOR
There are two things which I feel I must do to keep abreast of the times.
Eve ArdenVOICE_ACTOR
First, I read all the latest figures on the cost of living, and secondly, I never miss Li'l Abner.
Eve ArdenVOICE_ACTOR
[laughing] It's not that I approve of Li'l Abner's grammar, but with my salary as a school teacher, I have to know what's going on in Dogpatch so I won't seem like a yokel when I move there.
Eve ArdenVOICE_ACTOR
[laughing] Against this day, Mrs. Davis, my landlady, started last week to pack me a lunch so that I could save the money I'd spend in the school cafeteria.
Eve ArdenVOICE_ACTOR
Although she's come up with some pretty weird recipes, the first sandwiches she constructed for me were made out of loganberry jelly and cucumbers.
Jeffrey MadoffHOST
Yes.
Dan SullivanHOST
Little Abner.
Jeffrey MadoffHOST
Yeah.
Dan SullivanHOST
Dick Tracy.
Fred ApplegateGUEST
It wasn't, it wasn't just musicals.
Fred ApplegateGUEST
I mean, we did Li'l Abner, which is probably the last era in history that you could do Li'l Abner.
Fred ApplegateGUEST
[laughs]
TristanHOST
Sure.
Eric Von HaesslerHOST
Yes, it's also very ridiculous, but-
Tim AndrewsPANELIST
I don't like Li'l Abner.
Eric Von HaesslerHOST
There's a lot of fun outtakes on there, a lot, a lot of fun stuff.
Eric Von HaesslerHOST
There's...
Dan DoughertyGUEST
No, I definitely knew this was something.
Dan DoughertyGUEST
What I remember it from was from Little Abner because there was Sadie Hawkins Day in Little Abner.
Paul KenHOST
Sadie Hawkins Day.
Paul KenHOST
I thought that was asking to a dance.
Dan DoughertyGUEST
No, I think that's the day, one day a year.
Dan DoughertyGUEST
I think it might be leap year or something.
Dan DoughertyGUEST
And that's why Little Abner has to avoid her like the plague of Daisy Mae, I think her name was.
Dan DoughertyGUEST
So I kind of felt that this read more like a romance comic myself.

Sophia GoodnightHOST
I think it's important to keep track of.
Sophia GoodnightHOST
Dave has a little aside here in his response about, okay, so the Lil Abner situation that Dave mentions.
Sophia GoodnightHOST
I should have Googled this.
Sophia GoodnightHOST
But basically what Dave is talking about is Lil Abner, comic strip by OutKap.
Sophia GoodnightHOST
The rights are returned to Alcat because Cat felt that his strip wasn't being handled properly by the publishers.
Sophia GoodnightHOST
So I thought long and hard about what I think about this, whether or not a work of fiction ought to be returned to its original owner after being sold for reasons of concerns about quality.
Leon PiersonNARRATOR
There should be little doubt about that.
Leon PiersonNARRATOR
Even Little Abner agrees.
Leon PiersonNARRATOR
Here's Al Capp.
Al CappSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
Most great writers of fiction are remembered by the many and varied characters they've created: Dickens by Fagin, Micawber, Bill Sikes, Uriah Heep; Shakespeare by King Lear, Romeo, Macbeth, the Shrew, and the guy that tamed her; Walt Kelly by Pogo, Albert, and that troublesome one he imported from Wisconsin.

Al CappSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
Whether he's a couple of young fellows in The Sun Also Rises or an aging man in Across the River and into the Trees, none of us remember the names of these characters, but all of us recognize their attitudes.
Al CappSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
They're all the same guy, they're all Hemingway, and the only difference in them is the difference in Hemingway's age and attitudes at those times.
Al CappSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
Now, now, this guy Hemingway that Hemingway created is, is very much like a fella I created His name is Hairless Joe, and he, he lives in a cave near Dogpatch where Li'l Abner lives.
Al CappSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
Now, he, he could live in a perfectly comfortable shack like all the rest of the Dogpatchers, but he prefers the cave because deep in it are all sorts of wild beasts who roam out and tangle with Hairless Joe with murder first and, and dinner later a- as their object.
