Li'l Abner & Barks

[Donald Markstein]

Rob Klein --

What I said about Barks possibly having been inspired by Al Capp's Sadie
Hawkins Day was just the way it seems to me, not based on anything Barks
himself said. I was responding to an earlier observation of the same thing.
Just a guess, at least on my part. If Barks himself said it, then I suppose
it was a pretty good guess.

And yeah, I can certainly see that he'd have been influenced by Segar's
terrific funny adventure stories in Thimble Theatre. Never knew Andy Gump's
Uncle Bim had any influence on the creation of Scrooge, tho.

Quack, Don
