Al Capp's Li'l Abner #84
In "Yokum's Moon," Li'l Abner finds himself caught in the strange glow of Yokum's Moon, setting off a chain of odd events in Dogpatch. Mr. Fatback relocates the entire town just to avoid a shadow he finds offensive, while Marryin' Sam gears up for a lavish "eight dollah" wedding—only to settle for a far more modest affair. Written and drawn entirely by Al Capp, this 1951 classic captures the surreal humor of Dogpatch with his signature wit and eccentric charm, and the cover by Al Capp perfectly mirrors the story’s whimsical, offbeat tone.
