Lil Abner was always one of my favorites. I loved the characters. Maybe America's love affair with Marilyn Monroe was due to her resemblance to Daisy Mae. Al Capp was a keen observer of human nature. He was indeed a prophet in his description of the Shmoos. The great big Shmoo we all know and love is the U.S. Government. It has done for a whole segment of American society exactly what the Shmooes did to the inhabitants of Dogpatch.
