Dog Patch Usa

For forty-three years Lil Abner ignored the voluptuous Daisy Mae In Al Capp’s comic strip about the good folks of Dogpatch USA I remember as a child thinking all women should look like she. And wondering why he had no interest; was he not a real he? The hillbillies in the comic strip delighted the world over. They had hunting dogs and rifles, and moonshine made of clover. Granny was short but tough, no one dared cross that old crone. I loved the entire concept including Jubilation T. Cornpone.

those comic strip days are now long gone. I surely remember these things and waiting each week for the Sunday comics page of the newspaper.

Up until the 50's, women did try to look like Daisy Mae & Blondie, but the wasp waist disappeared when soda pop ceased to be a treat and became a staple. Aloha!
