About the series
Al Capp's Shmoo Comics, published by Toby from 1949 to 1950, spun off the beloved, lovable blob-like creatures from Capp's Li'l Abner newspaper strip into their own five-issue series. The book was largely written by Capp himself, with art from Capp, Mell Lazarus, and Milt Story, capturing the gentle, whimsical satire of a world where these endlessly giving beings could solve all problems. This short-lived but charming series matters as a unique, standalone expansion of Capp's satirical universe, offering a pure dose of postwar comic whimsy.
