My friend Donnie Pitchford has released Year One of his Lum and Abner newspaper strip. The book retails for $9.95 plus three dollars postage, and you can order it here: http://www.lumandabnersociety.org/Comic-Strip-Home.html If you'd like your copy personalized, ask Donnie, and I'Grannies, he will be happy to oblige. For those of you who may not know who Lum and Abner are/were, the series lasted on radio from 1931-1954, and was very popular and spawned seven movies. The humor is good ol' down home country folks ala Andy Griffith, but they were not only first, but were a major source of inspiration to Andy for his TV show.
I'm an unbashed fan of the radio series. I've listened to the approximately 1,300 shows in circulation, and I think Donnie has really nailed down the characters.
