    1. [TRIVVIES] Alfred Gerald Caplin
    2. John Donaldson
    3. I grew up being a great fan of Li'l Abner and I can remember opening up the paper each morning to see how the new exploit was making out. The creator of this comic strip, arguably the best one produced by and American artist, Alfred Gerald Caplin, better known as Al Capp, has had few rivals in the production of comic strips and cartoons anywhere in the world. No, I am not going to get into a discussion with you Brits as to whether Giles produced a better cartoon. I find the same agelessness in Giles as I find in Al Capp's work. I had a bit of trouble finding an unbiased biography on Capp that I could copy for you since like many authors all of his work is copy written and may not be copied without prior permission. The following URLs offer interesting perspectives of the man and his work: http://www.al-capp-lil-abner.com/ http://www.lil-abner.com/cappbio.html http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Al_Capp http://www.deniskitchen.com/Merchant2/merchant.mvc?Screen=CTGY&Category_Code =bios.capp Capt'n John Al Capp Original name: Alfred Gerald Caplin Birth: Sep. 28, 1909 Death: Nov. 5, 1979 Cartoonist. Al Capp created the cartoon strip Li'l Abner during the early stages of the Great Depression in 1934. It would last for 43 years well beyond the Vietnam War until 1977 when its creator retired taking the entire hillbillyYokum family from mythical Dogpatch USA with him...Abner, Daisy Mae, Manmy, Pappy Yokum, Marryin Sam, Sadie Hawkins, Sir Cecil, Lady Cesspool, Hairless Joe, Lonesome Polecat, Fearless Fosdick, the Shmoos and the ultimate jinx Joe Btfsplk with his overhead black cloud. He was the eldest child born to Otto and Matilda Caplin in New Haven Connecticut. Fitted with a prosthesis after losing a leg at the age of nine, he would walk with a limp and needed the use of a cane the rest of his life. His father would introduce him to drawing as a form of therapy. With books, encouragement and supplies provided by his art loving family, he became quite proficient learning mostly on his own. His formal training came from a series of art schools in the New England area including Designers Art School in Boston, the last before launching his amazing career. At age nineteen, he was the youngest syndicated cartoonist in America with a daily cartoon series called "Colonel Gilfeather" an Associated Press feature. His first major collaboration was in 1932 with Ham Fisher the creator of the comic strip "Joe Palooka." A year later, Alfred Gerald Caplin became All Capp after striking out on his own. He would develop "Dogpatch USA" with a complete cast of hillbilly characters based on the folks he saw when traveling the mountains of West Virginia as a youngster. The cartoon strips popularity grew and grew from an original eight papers to ultimately being carried by hundreds with a readership of over 60 million readers with adults far out numbering children. Unable to serve in World War II because of his disability, he would visit military hospital amputees on a regular basis, entertaining, giving encouragement by lecturing while highlighting the story of his own missing limb. In the latter years of the strip with Capp now middle age, Li'l Abner was no longer funny as its creator became mean-spirited, outspoken and acid-tongued toward many Americans which transferred to the strip and its demise. He was a frequent and outspoken guest on the "Tonight" show spanning hosts Jack Paar, Steve Allen and Johnny Carson while authoring his own newspaper column. He met his match as guest lecturer at campuses nationwide during the Viet Nam era attacking anti-war protesters and demonstrators which included many prominent and famous Americans. Female students struck back implicating him with charges of sexual misconduct. In one case, he was forced to plead no contest and withdrew from public speaking. Li'l Abner, once the most popular comic strip in America, lost nearly half its markets. Capp saw the handwriting on the wall and retired pulling the strip. A heavy smoker his entire life, he was already in the last stages of Emphysema. A short retirement as a recluse at his home in South Hampton, New Hampshire was of short duration. He would pass away there in less than two years. Legacy...His characters from Dogpatch created a ready market for collectibles but his Shmoo characters became a national sensation, creating the largest mass merchandising phenomenon of the time. Capp won the National Cartoonist Society's Award in 1947. This prestiges award is given every ten years to an outstanding cartoonist. In 1995, the comic strip was featured by the Postal Service in its "Comicstrip Classics" a series of commemorative stamps honoring the art. He introduced many slang terms to the English language..."Lower Slobobia," "Fosdick," Druthers,"Irregardless, a " Daisy Mae" type and "Kickapoo Joy Juice." The first Li'l Abner movie was made in 1940 with Granville Owen in the lead with Buster Keaton in the role of Lonesome Polecat. An animated comic strip adaptation conceived four years later was not successful. In 1956, a Broadway musical was a hit then made into a movie in 1959 with Peter Palmer again in the lead. The musical had a revival on Broadway in 1998. In a bit of trivia...Some of you, including myself, found a spouse via a Sadie Hawkins Dance. In November, 1937, Al Capp introduced Sadie Hawkins Day in his Li'l Abner comic strip. This event would pit Daisy Mae in a foot race intent on the capture of Li'l Abner for the purpose of marriage. It quickly inspired real life girl-asks-boy dances across America in High Schools and Colleges. Sadie Hawkins Day became a national institution. After nearly 20 years of bachelorhood, Daisy Mae was finally successful in 1952 and Li'l Abner was vanquished by marriage. The event made front page news as well as the cover of Life Magazine. A popular theme-park called Dogpatch USA operated in Jasper, Arkansas, until the early nineties before closing mired in financial red ink.

    2. PJK :o))
    3. Fab news, Jean !!! Let's hope 2008 is a better year for you in every way. Pat.xxx :o)) A Maid of Kent Dear Trivvies Thank you Claire, Johno, Miss Mary and Cathy ( chasing you Johno <bg>), Di Di, Val, Geo, Wendy, Gwen, Brenda and Capt John ( belated Anniversary Greetings), Glennis, Edna, Jean USA, PJK,( congrats on anticipating grandmotherhood), and last but not least Dave, Pam and Nikki. I had a wonderful day, which your greetings all went to help make the day the best I've had for a long time, and I felt well. It started with a call from my brother in the USA, and then my daughter who, with Chris, was coming over later to my home, called saying she had someone with her who wanted to speak to me. Someone came on singing the Happy Birthday to You song. I thought I recognised the voice, but didn't see how it was possible, then I was told that I'd known them for about 50 years. It was Heather's best friend from school in the UK and she and her husband were in Perth for a few days and wanting to surprise her landed on her doorstep at 8 am. When I recovered from the shock I decided to go to over to their home, only to find their car gone, and realised they must have come to see me. Thank goodness for mobile phones! We had a lovely morning, then in the afternoon my neighbour's mother, who arrived from the UK at the weekend called round, so we had a good time catching up on news. Last week I learned that all my blood tests were normal and there was no sign of cancer. I assume this means there were no 'markers'. On TuesdayI went to see John and have lunch with him at the Nursing Home, sadly he was rather confused as he was yesterday, and yet on the Sunday he was quite good. Hope I've not bored you with all this. Hugs to you all Jean Oz . . "IS THE SUBJECT LINE STILL RELEVANT?

    3. Many thanks for your welcome email. I now live in Salisbury, Wiltshire, which is a lovely place. But I am really a Londoner, I was born there and lived there all my life until a few years ago when we moved to Devon. Another really beautiful place. Then when my husband died, 3 years ago, I decided I would go and live nearer to my two daughters. It was a good move and I love it here. I do miss being by the sea but other things make up for that. I am very interested in tracing our family history and have got as far back as 1770. So I am on the London list which has about a thousand members and also the LONDON LIFE list which is about things appertaining to London itself. Both are immensely interesting as I'm sure this list is. Everybody has such interesting things to say and share with the list. Kind regards to everyone, from Margaret.

    1. [TRIVVIES] From The Northern News-Saturday, January 6, 1900-RAILWAY SERVANTS AND THEIR RULES
    2. Geo.
    3. Transcribed by Emily Smith. Geo. The Northern News With Which Are Amalgamated The HALTWHISTLE and ALSTON NEWS and NORTH CUMBERLAND REFORMER No. 514 —Vol. XI. Saturday, January 6, 1900 ----- RAILWAY SERVANTS AND THEIR RULES. At Guy's Hospital, London, on Monday, an inquest was held on Alfred William GILES, 28; William DRAPER, 60; and Fernand Henri ARTS, 54; who were killed with three other in the railway collision at Wivelsfield Station, on the London, Brighton, and South Coast Line, on Saturday week, between the Newhaven boat train and the Brighton Pullman express. Alfred WESTLAKE, driver of the Pullman express, said there was no truth in the suggestion that he was going 60 miles an hour. In a sudden fog he would stop, but this fog had been on two hours, and any driver would depend on fog signals. Richard EDWARDS, the signalman at Keymer Junction box, deposed that he had read the rule respecting the order to put detonators on the line if the fogmen were not out, but did not understand the rule meant "by his box." He thought it meant the other side of the distant signal. The jury found that the collision was an accident, partly due to the driver, WESTLAKE, not obeying his rules, but they did not consider him guilty of gross negligence. They considered that EDWARDS ought to have put detonators on the line, but did not do so through ignorance of the proper meaning of the rule. They considered there should be periodical examinations of railway servants to ascertain their knowledge of the rules. -- Emily Smith

Saturday, January 6, 1900 ----- Death of a Weaver. Elizabeth HOLLARND, aged 13, weaver, employed at W.T. ASHTON and Son's, cotton manufacturers, Hope Mill, Darwen, was caught by a strap connected with machinery when at work on Saturday and carried up to the shafting, round which she was whirled several times. The engine was stopped and the girl was released. She was removed to Blackburn Infirmary, where, several hours afterwards, death ensued. -- Emily Smith

    1. [TRIVVIES] From The Northern News-Saturday, January 6, 1900-WORKING DOLLS.
    2. Geo.
    3. Transcribed by Emily Smith. Geo. The Northern News-Saturday, January 6, 1900 WORKING DOLLS. Mr. F.M. HOLMES, in "Cassell's Magazine" for January says:—Would you know how to make a fortune? Then invent a cheap doll's voice to say "Yes" and "No," and your fortune is made. For years doll manufacturers have been endeavouring to do this, and they have failed. Dolls will laugh with indiarubber faces, will cry, will sing, will move their arms and their eyes, will walk and talk—So far as to call on their beloved parents—yet they stubbornly refuse to say "Yes" and "No." They have no will of their own, you see; they have no perception of right and wrong. Not surprising, perhaps, you will think, when even human beings sometimes find these troublesome little words difficult to utter. But in literal fact, notwithstanding the ingenious contrivances pressed into doll life, no one can vocalise these sounds; and the world of doll-makers is patiently waiting, gold in hand, for a gifted genius to arise and produce them. Or you might make a fortune in dolls' shoes. Nearly all dolls' shoes come from Germany. There must be millions of them, and they form quite a big trade. Surely a dolls' shoe factory would succeed well in Britain. But, indeed, nearly all the numerous contrivances of puppet-land hail from abroad. Do English manufacturers despise them, or are our people not sufficiently ingenious to produce them? Science, too, had had a word to say; and perhaps it is here that English makers are found wanting—they do not apply science to the art of doll-making as do the Germans. We do not grudge the foreigner his ingenuity and enterprise, but we should like to see more displayed at home. -- Emily Smith

    3. Transcribed by Ann Selchick. Geo. THE NORTHERN NEWS, OCTOBER 9, 1897. NEGLECTING HIS FAMILY. _____ Charles John RUDDICK, miner, was brought up on a warrant, at the instance of the Board of Guardians and charged with neglecting to maintain his wife and children, whereby they had become chargeable to the Union. Defendant said he had got work at the Blackett Colliery, and had taken, and partly furnished a house at Haydon Bridge. He was ready to take his wife and family out of the workhouse that day. Mr. REAY, relieving officer, on behalf of the Guardians, agreed to the withdrawal of all proceedings on defendant undertaking to repay the costs already incurred. Defendant undertook to pay these at 10s a month. Mr. REAY intimated that defendant had caused the Guardians trouble before, and if he did not carry out what he had undertaken, they would have to press for the maximum punishment. ******
