Li'l Abner - 08/24/1947

AL CAPP STUDIOS - Al Capp began the Li'l Abner strip as a daily in 1934, and added a Sunday strip a year later.

This is the original daily comic strip art for Li'L Abner dated 8-24-47. The art has an image area of 19 " x 22" and the art is in very good condition with light overall aging and some moisture warping on the right side; the art was cut into several pieces and re-assembled with backing tape, the tape is somewhat loose at some points.
