Li’l Abner War Bonds Poster (continued)

Thursday, July 17th, 2008

Almost a year ago I posted a War Bonds Poster that featured Al Capp’s Li’l Abner.  Apparently this struck a chord, because I received quite a few comments and questions as a result of that post.

One of the Ephemerist’s readers sent in a scan of a similar poster, this time also featuring Capp’s celebrated character, the Shmoo.  It is for sale, so if anybody’s interested, let me know and I’ll relay your message.
