Al Capp - Original Comic Strip Art for Li'l Abn
Al Capp - Original Comic Strip Art for Li'l Abner Daily dated 5-31-39 (United Features Syndicate, 1939). One of the most beloved and influential comic strips of the Twentieth Century (Capp was responsible for injecting the words "druthers" and "irregardless" into our national lexicon, among other things) Li'l Abner is, and always will be, a "classic" in every sense of the word. First brought to life in 1934 as a jab to former employer Ham Fisher, Abner quickly caught the fancy of the nation and enjoyed success on the comics page, the movie screen, and even the Broadway stage. The strip offered here is a perfect example of Capp's bold, smooth line, and his captivating use of language and dialect. In excellent condition and measuring approximately 22.75" x 6.75" overall, the piece is signed by Capp in the last panel. Important notice: 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.
