Is this "L'il Abner" a film version of the comic strip from the 40s, the strip which featured a hooch/potion still called the skonkworks - origin of the nickname 'Skunkworks' which Lockheed adopted for their R & D facility?
Why thass ol' Jubilation T. Cornpone hisself ye got thar Mr. R, hero o' all Dawgpatch.
A Melbourne journalist, now sadly deceased and whose name I've unfortunately forgotten (but he was fairly famous in his day, truly) once said of himself, "Everything worth knowing, I learned from comics." I know exactly what he meant (what questing young mind never coveted the Junior Woodchucks Guidebook?) but after all these years I struggle to recall exactly what it was I learned from Li'l Abner. I know I was disappointed not to be hunted down by packs of ravening girls on any Sadie Hawkin's Day (not once). Errol Noack, the first Aussie national serviceman killed in combat was the image of Tiny Yokum, it seemed to me (we were in the same platoon at Puckapunyal). That's sad. My fondness for pigs soon evaporated when the neighbour had me look after her herd for a while. Ruddy swine are too smart for their own good (bludgers ganged up on me!) No, not much in the positive, education-wise, from Li'l Abner comes to mind I must confess.
It is, indeed, the General. Reasons for watching it complicated . . .
