One of my favorites! Remember the Students Wildly Indignant about Nearly Everything (SWINE)? I still get a thrill thinking of when the Hippie front tooth attacked the Mafia Mob enforcer’s Brass Knuckles.

Absolutely. And remember Feel-O-Vision. I want that.

IIRC, Al Capp was a conservative who made fun of every liberal trope.

I think he was the one who coined the term "Joanie Phony" about Joan Baez.

Baez tried to sue him, but lost.

He also poked fun at John Lennon and Yoko Ono's "bed-in" for peace.

Which irritated Lennon to no end.

I wager that Capp was probably a democrat, old school.

Any overtly conservative cartoonist would likely be black-balled today.
