Review
Southwest literary humor and Yiddish humor collided in the ever-popular comic strip "Lil Abner". From 1936 to 1977 (when it ceased publication) this comic strip entertained, annoyed, riled, and amused legions of readers. Li'l Abner, Daisy Mae, Mammy and Pappy Yokum, Moonbeam McSwine, Marryin' Sam, and Sadie Hawkins became pillars in American popular culture, and Dogpatch became a symbol, an emblem and a community in mainstream U. S. A. Li'l Abner: A Study in American Satire, originally published in 1969, is made available again with a new afterword by the author. It is a model of how the comics (sometimes snubbed as "culture for the common man") can be given earnest and well deserved analytical attention. Here in great detail are discussions of the place of "Lil Abner" in American satire, of Al Capp's narrative technique, his use of dialogue and grotesquery, his use of self-caricature, and of the significance of social criticism and the pictorial image. As a mirror of national values and conflicts, "Lil Abner" had a special place not only in the funny papers but also in the consciousness of America. -- Midwest Book Review
