This week, a two-part sequence from Al Capp's brilliant LI'L ABNER. It's a story that begins with an attack on by animals on "hoomanity," and ends up with the government interfering in the marriage of Li'l Abner and Daisy Mae for the public good! In the meantime the old devil sex rears its head with the incredible Wolf Gal. She has set her sights on Li'l Abner, married or not.

This is part one, which appeared in newspapers February 4 to March 19, 1960. Come back Thursday for the second part of the story from this classic comic strip.More Capp here and here.

Part 2 on Thursday.

More Sweetie Pie

Like cartoonist Marty Links, who I showed Monday, Nadine Seltzer was a successful female cartoonist in a male-dominated field during the 1950s. Her daily panel, "Sweetie Pie," was collected into a 1955 paperback book from which these examples are taken. Unlike Links, who continued her cartooning career after her feature, "Emmy Lou" was finished, Seltzer seems to have disappeared from the cartoon world after "Sweetie Pie" ended its run. At least I haven't been able to find references to Seltzer online. If you have information please let me know. Seltzer was a talented cartoonist, and her panel. a little girl version of "Dennis the Menace" showed she had a style that fit well into the era.

I showed more "Sweetie Pie," along with "Bobby Sox," here.

Bobby Sox by Marty Links

Martha "Marty" Links drew the popular newspaper comic, "Bobby Sox," later called "Emmy Lou," from 1944 to 1979. This successful female cartoonist then continued with her career, drawing for Hallmark Cards. Links was born in 1917, and died in 2008. These panels are from the book MORE BOBBY SOX, published in 1957.

I showed more from this book here.
