<B>Al Capp - Li'l Abner Sunday Comic Strip Original Art, dated 1-6-52 (United Features Syndicate, 1952).</B></I> Author John Steinbeck named Al Capp "the best writer in the world." And in one of Capp's most memorable stories, the beautiful Moonbeam McSwine warns that the "Shmoos is too good -- too tragically good -- They'll find out." The prodigiously propagating Shmoos multiply to a million, destroy a hotel with their girth, and in the comical climax to this Sunday, build an incredible "bridge of Shmoos" in an offbeat jailbreak. This is a spectacular Shmoo Sunday, from "Li'l Abner," the feature regarded by many as the greatest comic strip of all time, and it's in Excellent condition. The title-header in the top tier appears to be a carefully crafted and color-matched replacement. The image size is approximately 19.5" x 27". The Shmoos had no reason to exist other than to sacrifice themselves for the benefit of mankind, and here's your chance to bag a million of them with one winning bid. <BR><BR><B>Important notice:</B> Heritage usually auctions material at the rate of 200-250 lots per hour. On some occasions eBay Live bid software or the Internet may not be able to keep up with the pace of the auction. We recommend placing a realistic absentee bid now as insurance to avoid disappointment. Occasionally the auctioneer may eliminate or reject an eBay Live bid, and the auctioneer may also reopen a lot after the close of the eBay live bidding (usually because we missed an audience bid), and may reject your bid even if it shows you as the winning bidder. By bidding via eBay Live, you agree that Heritage may award the lot to another bidder at its sole discretion under the circumstances described above or any other reasonable circumstances. Since eBay bids are not shown to us until we open the lot on the floor, we treat those bids just like floor bids. In most cases the floor responds before the eBay bid is presented to us, due to Internet lag time, so for consistency we have made it a policy that floor bids are always considered first over tie eBay live bids. Also please note that all Heritage lots purchased through eBay Live carry a 20% Buyer's Premium. Please make sure you read the Terms and Conditions before you bid.
