Al Capp's Li'l Abner #95
In "Poisoned Bean Case," Al Capp delivers another sharp, satirical skewering of small-town hysteria, as Fosdick launches a full-scale, increasingly absurd campaign against beans after a single can is found tainted—leading to dramatic showdowns, questionable tactics, and the usual mix of humor and social commentary. Written, drawn, inked, and lettered by Al Capp himself, this 1954 issue features his signature art and biting wit, with a cover by Al Capp that captures the episode’s escalating absurdity.
