5.0 out of 5 stars
One of the building blocks of American Popular Culture,

This review is from: Li'l Abner: Dailies, Vol. 3: 1937 (Paperback)
Lil' Abner was one of the greatest comic strips of all time, and this collection is one of the most essential of the planned 50 volume series. Each book contains a years worth of strips, and this volume features the first ever Sadie Hawkins' Day! Join all the folks in Dogpatch for the race, and learn just where those summer camp Sadie Hawkins Dance traditions came from. A classic example of good humor, great artwork and American satire from Al Capp, a true master of the form.

This review is from: Li'l Abner: Dailies, Vol. 3: 1937 (Paperback)
The lil Abner of the 1930s was not the satire and farce like the strip became since the mid 1940s.
It was more of a suspense, ala Dick Tracy and Terry and the Pirates, with a bit of satire and farce thrown in, along with a soap opera love angle with Abner and Daisy Mae. It also features comic characters that looked like real human beings, not the exaggerated drawings of the mid 1960s. That said, Al Capp was a masterful storyteller. The stories and drawings capture the late 1930's period. However, it stands on its own merit and deserves a 5.
