Saturday Cream Day.
Al Capp rented out his characters for Li'L Abner for various ad series. You come across them everywhere, but I never really bothered to save or scan them. Still, after seeing so many Fearless Fossdick ads for hair tonic, I just started picking them up everywhere. The same goes for Li'l Abner and Daisy May's ads for Aunt Jemiah's Cream of Wheat breakfast porridge, used in magazines and Sunday newspaper magazines. I have sample of them fom 1944 to 1956 and I am still not sure if and where they were doubled. It is save to assume Capp's involvement in these was minimal, but they do look like the real thing. The quality various from scans I amde myself to samples I got from online material. At the end I have one more with another famous newspaper character.
