In fact, with time it's clearly been shown to have been prophetic. <br />Capp's later period is a bit confusing, but it's part of the big picture and we can't wish it away. Hey, in a way, his badgering of John and Yoko was a very PUNK thing to do, as much as I admire John and Yoko. I can imagine Johnny Rotten asking them the same kind of questions. Their silly behavior with the peace-bed thing was not really questioned by anyone else.<br />Someone needed to point out that such stunts probably did not save one life or have any impact on war. <br />The sexual harassment and such is not a pretty picture, but now that he's gone and not capable of harassing your sister or my wife, we can play Monday morning quarterback and say that losing a leg early in life surely took its toll on his psyche. Whatever unwise things he may have done, he DID leave us DECADES of brilliant work. And his war against hypocrisy and pretentiousness is needed now more than ever. <br />I'm glad you are keeping Al Capp's name alive. <br />I will eventually work my way through all the years of LI'L ABNER as I stumble into my golden years (I've probably read about 1/3 of it, and much of that decades ago), and I'm looking forward to it.
