Alfred Gerald Caplin (September 28, 1909 – November 5, 1979), better known as Al Capp, was an American cartoonist and humorist best known for the satirical comic strip Li'l Abner, which he created in 1934 and continued writing and (with help from assistants) drawing until 1977. He also wrote the comic strips Abbie an' Slats (in the years 1937–45) and Long Sam (1954). He won the National Cartoonists Society's Reuben Award in 1947 for Cartoonist of the Year, and their 1979 Elzie Segar Award (posthumously) for his "unique and outstanding contribution to the profession of cartooning." Comic strips dealt with northern urban experiences until the year Capp introduced "Li'l Abner," the first strip based in the South. Although Capp was from Connecticut, he spent 43 years teaching the world about Dogpatch, reaching an estimated 60 million readers in over 900 American newspapers and 100 foreign papers in 28 countries. M. Thomas Inge says Capp made a large personal fortune on the strip and "had a profound influence on the way the world viewed the American South."
Sadie Hawkins may refer to:
An American folk event, Sadie Hawkins Day is a pseudo-holiday that originated in Al Capp's classic hillbilly comic strip, Li'l Abner (1934–1978). This inspired real-world Sadie Hawkins dances, where girls ask boys out.
In Li'l Abner, Sadie Hawkins was the daughter of one of Dogpatch's earliest settlers, Hekzebiah Hawkins. The "homeliest gal in all them hills", she grew frantic waiting for suitors to come a-courtin'. When she reached the age of 35, still a spinster, her father was even more frantic—about Sadie living at home for the rest of her life. In desperation, he called together all the unmarried men of Dogpatch and declared it "Sadie Hawkins Day". A foot race was decreed, with Sadie in hot pursuit of the town's eligible bachelors. She specifically had her eye on a boy who was already in a courtship with the cute farmers daughter, Theresa. She was the daughter of the area's largest potato farmer, Bill Richmand, and, unlike Sadie, had a lot of courtship offers. Stud-muffin Adam Olis was her target, and because the engagement of Miss Theresa and Adam wasn't official he was included in the race. With matrimony as the consequence of losing the foot race, the men of the town were running for their freedom. Turned out Adam Olis was in 4th place out of 10th leaving John Jonston Sadies' catch of the day. It seems likely that the concept's origins lie in an inversion of the myth of Atalanta, who, reluctant to marry, agreed to wed whoever could outrun her in a footrace.

John Winston Ono Lennon, MBE (born John Winston Lennon; 9 October 1940 – 8 December 1980) was an English singer and songwriter who rose to worldwide fame as a co-founder of the band the Beatles, the most commercially successful band in the history of popular music. With fellow member Paul McCartney, he formed a celebrated songwriting partnership.
Born and raised in Liverpool, Lennon became involved in the skiffle craze as a teenager; his first band, the Quarrymen, evolved into the Beatles in 1960. When the group disbanded in 1970, Lennon embarked on a solo career that produced the critically acclaimed albums John Lennon/Plastic Ono Band and Imagine, and iconic songs such as "Give Peace a Chance", "Working Class Hero", and "Imagine". After his marriage to Yoko Ono in 1969, he changed his name to John Ono Lennon. Lennon disengaged himself from the music business in 1975 to raise his infant son Sean, but re-emerged with Ono in 1980 with the new album Double Fantasy. He was murdered three weeks after its release.
Li'l Abner is a satirical American comic strip that appeared in many newspapers in the United States, Canada and Europe, featuring a fictional clan of hillbillies in the impoverished mountain village of Dogpatch, USA. Written and drawn by Al Capp (1909–1979), the strip ran for 43 years, from August 13, 1934 through November 13, 1977. It was distributed by United Feature Syndicate. Comic strips typically dealt with northern urban experiences before Capp introduced Li'l Abner, the first strip based in the South. Although Capp was from Connecticut, he spent 43 years writing about a fictional southern town. The comic strip had 60 million readers in over 900 American newspapers and 100 foreign papers in 28 countries. Author M. Thomas Inge says Capp "had a profound influence on the way the world viewed the American South."
Li'l Abner Yokum: Abner was 6' 3" and perpetually 19 "y'ars" old. A naïve, simpleminded, gullible and sweet-natured hillbilly, he lived in a ramshackle log cabin with his pint-sized parents. Capp derived the family name "Yokum" as a combination of yokel and hokum. In Capp's satirical and often complex plots, Abner was a country bumpkin Candide—a paragon of innocence in a sardonically dark and cynical world. Abner typically had no visible means of support, but sometimes earned his livelihood as a "crescent cutter" for the Little Wonder privy company, later changed to "mattress tester" for the Stunned Ox mattress company. During World War II, Abner was "drafted" into becoming the mascot emblem of the Patrol Boat Squadron 29. Postwar Abner became a US Air Force bodyguard of Steve Cantor (a parody of Steve Canyon) against the evil bald female spy Jewell Brynner (a parody of actor Yul Brynner)}

Al Capp On Campus AL CAPP may have had more effect on our young than any other American, and never more than he has today, measured by the requests for him to speak at our colleges. Capp charges more, treats his young audiences more brutally, and is more in demand than any other speaker. "I am not young enough" he tells them "to know everything, but I'm old enough and rich enough to tell you the truth"... No American's life, the past 35 years, hasn't been affected by Capp. His "Sadie Hawkins Day" became an annual event, and is now a revered tradition on hundreds of American campuses. His "Shmoo" became as indestructible and beloved a world myth as the Loch Ness Monster, or the Teddy Bear. His invention of the mini-skirt 30 years ago got him denounced as a pornographer then and hai...

www.ovationtv.com The year: 1969. Headlines blare war and civil unrest while John Lennon and Yoko Ono are in love. The eccentric rock 'n' roll couple has just gotten married, and more than happy to be together, they want to change the world. Lying in a hotel bed surrounded by journalists they announced their mission for peace and invited the rest of the world to symbolically climb into bed with them and share their dream. This clip highlights the historic conflict between John and Yoko and conservative cartoonist Al Capp. ART LIKE NEVER BEFORE, TV LIKE NOTHING ELSE ® www.ovationtv.com
↓ Read the MESSAGE FROM YOKO ONO ↓ Dear Friends, In 1969, John and I were so naïve to think that doing the Bed-In would help change the world. Well, it might have. But at the time, we didn't know. It was good that we filmed it, though. The film is powerful now. What we said then could have been said now. In fact, there are things that we said then in the film, which may give some encouragement and inspiration to the activists of today. Good luck to us all. Let's remember WAR IS OVER If We Want It. It's up to us, and nobody else. John would have wanted to say that. Love, yoko Yoko Ono Lennon New York, USA September 2013 Find out more at http://imaginepeace.com/archives/15702 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- ABOUT BED PEACE 1969 was the year t...

Russel Harvey interviews Elliott Caplin, Comic Strip Creator and Writer; Playwright; and younger brother of Legendary Cartoonist, Al Capp, 1988. 30 min. Though best remembered as the younger brother of Al Capp, legendary creator of Li'l Abner, Elliott Caplin was also a successful playwright and magazine editor, and, perhaps, the most prolific creator of syndicated comic strips in history. Mr. Caplin created 22 syndicated comic strips, including his long running collaboration with artist Stan Drake, "The Heart of Juliet Jones." In this historic interview, Mr. Caplin and I discuss the tragedy and bitterness that drove his brother's genius, and his own life in the world of comic strips. I remember Elliott Caplin as a kind man and a captivating storyteller, with impeccable manners and charm...

Tendre Frio en cada Hueso
perdera sentido todo,
por lo que alguna vez luche.
sera el fin de mi cruzada
mi derrota anticipada,
sin haberme puesto en pie
ya te vi ya te encontre,
ya probe del paraisooooo.
si no te vuevo a ver, no entendere porque la vida me enseño que tu existias
si no te vuevo a ver, sera un mal chiste cruel jugada una ilusion muy mal gastada
si no te vuevo a ver, yo me conformo con que alguna vez te vi.
no sabre de que estoy hecho.
no habra luz ni fundamentos,
no habra nada en que creer
el final de la inocencia.
un montoon de fotos viejas recordando que existi,
ya te vi ya te encontre
ya probe del paraisooo
si no te vuevo a ver, no entendere porque la vida me enseño que tu existiaas
si no te vuevo a ver, sera un mal chiste cruel jugada una ilusion muy mal gastada
si no te vuevo a ver, por dios te juro que no siguo, suelto mis armas y me rindo.
si no te vuelvo me sobran dias y semanas que gracia tiene la mañana
si no te vuevo a ver, yo me conformo con que alguna vez te vi...
Si no te vuelvo a ver, yo me conformo con que alguna vez te vi.
