...faithful Indian sidekick, Lonesome Polecat, dispensed hair-curling batches of Kickapoo Joy Juice. Dogpatchers went calling on the snowbound citizens of Lower Slobbovia, home of Lena the Hyena, world's ugliest woman. Moonbeam McSwine wallowed happily in the mud and tried unsuccessfully to ensnare Abner with her buxom charms. As Capp once said of his curvaceous creations: "Anyone who likes small bosoms -let 'em read Orphan Annie...
