The only thing I know about Al Capp comes from reading Isaac Asimov's auto-biography (the third one). He said he and Al were friends for a long time, then Al suddenly became racist or something and started using the Lil Abner strip to bash blacks or something like that. Struck me as funny, because the few times I've actually read a Lil Abner strip, it didn't seem racist to me. Guess I just saw ones from the wrong era.
