Li'l Abner was one of my first shows I did, the school put it on when I was a freshman four years ago. I didn't have to sing it, but it's a catchy tune, and I think I still remember it. It's a very underrated show, IMO. Ah, yes. Li’l Abner was one of my first shows I did, the school put it on when I was a freshman four years ago.

Maybe saw two shows in the '80s. I had been meaning to go back at one point because when I went to SLU they kept running Yakov commercials....

Of course, I heard all about Silver Dollar City too, at approximately a 25:1 ratio compared to Dogpatch USA. The advantage SDC had was all the shows in Branson. Harrison, AR had nothing to help keep Dogpatch USA alive. [sarcasm] The people who live in the Ozarks just LOVE strips like Li'l Abner and Snuffy Smith. They depicts us so accurately. [/sarcasm] Sigh... Rasheed, having grown up in Springfield, MO, I certainly did. Of course, I heard all about Silver Dollar City too, at approximately a 25:1 ratio compared to Dogpatch USA.

The last time we went was around 20 years ago. According to the wiki', it's been abandoned since '93. I do remember a 'hillbilly' vibe of the place, but I didn't know anything of the Li'l Abner strip at the time, and all I really remember is a pretty elaborate shooting gallery and all I hit was a malfunctioning bird. My first question should have been "Has anyone ever HEARD of Dogpatch USA and knew Li'l Abner had his own theme park in Arkansas?" Has anyone ever been to Dogpatch USA?

I think Skaloop nailed it, though. Adam - when I read this strip I caught the fourth wall thing but I had no idea what in the third frame Frazz was referring to. I think Skaloop nailed it, though.

It usually means to understand. I was using a variance on it when I said "grok to" as I have obviously been corrupted by consorting with computer nerds.
