Al Capp - Original Comic Strip Art for Li'l Abn
Al Capp - Original Comic Strip Art for Li'l Abner Daily dated 3-15-40 (United Features Syndicate, 1940). With his roots in Al Capp's Big Leviticus hillbilly character from Joe Palooka (a strip that Capp ghosted for creator Ham Fisher), Li'l Abner is one of comic's greatest success stories. With a strong run over four decades, Abner and his kin from Dogpatch have inspired several movies, a hit Broadway musical, and untold amounts of merchandise. From early in the strip's life, this particularly nice example features the lovely Daisy Mae in every panel, along with Li'l Abner plus Mammy and Pappy Yokum, as the hicks from Dogpatch mingle with high society. With an image area of approximately 22.25" x 5.5" overall, and in excellent condition, this 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.
