Description
Alfred Gerald Caplin (September 28, 1909 – November 5, 1979), better known as Al Capp, was an American cartoonist and humorist best known for the satirical comic strip Li'l Abner, which he created in 1934 and continued writing and drawing until 1977.
He won the National Cartoonists Society's Reuben Award in 1947 for Cartoonist of the Year, and their 1979 Elzie Segar Award, posthumously for his "unique and outstanding contribution to the profession of cartooning."
Offered here is a Li'l Abner daily from 21. January 1954. It’s featuring a rich man (with a great resemblance to Al Capp himself) and the two major characters of the series Li'l Abner Yokum—the simple-minded, loutish but good-natured and eternally innocent hayseed and Daisy Mae Yokum.
Li'l Abner was a satirical American comic strip featuring a fictional clan of hillbillies in the impoverished mountain village of Dogpatch, USA. The strip ran for 43 years, from August 13, 1934 through November 13, 1977 and had 60 million readers in over 900 American newspapers and 100 foreign papers in 28 countries.

A propos de Al Capp
Al Capp, de son vrai nom Alfred Gerald Caplin, né à New Haven est un auteur de bande dessinée américain. Il est principalement connu par son comic strip humoristique Li'l Abner mais il a créé de nombreuses1 séries à succès dont Abbie an' Slats.
Après avoir étudiée le dessin dans plusieurs écoles, il trouve du travail en 1928 en tant que dessinateur du comic strip Col. Gilfeather diffusé par Associated Press. En 1932, il est engagé par Ham Fisher pour dessiner sa création Joe Palooka et, de ce fait, abandonne la série qu'il a créé à Milton Caniff. Il travaille sur ce comic strip pendant deux ans avant de créer Li'l Abner en 1934.
Ce strip quotidien est un très grand succès et il est suivi, l'année d'après, par la création de la page dominicale, dont la partie supérieure est consacrée à la série Washable Jones. Il s'occupe de la série Li'l Abner jusqu'en 1977.
