Al Capp hand drawn ''Li'l Abner'' comic strip featuring Shmoos. 2-panel strip from 9 September 1948 depicts Abner dining on a plate of the cooked Shmoo meat Mammy is dishing out in the kitchen, surrounded by living Shmoos, while shopkeeper Soft-Hearted John storms in ranting about his business being down since the townspeople are getting everything they need from Shmoos, as explicated by Abner, ''Shmoos does ev'rything! They gives milk, aigs, meat, an' th' eyes makes fine suspender buttons!...Nobody needs money no more!'' Capp uses his Shmoo creatures as an allegory for animals. Measures 22.5'' x 7''. Toning and white out. Near fine.
