About the series
Abbie an' Slats, a lighthearted newspaper strip spun into a two-issue comic series by St. John in 1948, follows the misadventures of a young city couple adjusting to rural life. Created by writer Elliott Caplin and artist Raeburn Van Buren, the series captures the gentle humor of small-town clashes with modernity. Though brief, it preserves the charm of a beloved daily feature for a new audience.
