Thread drift. Yeah, I remember Al Capp's attempts to take shots at Joan. Capp was losing it about then. His earlier parodies of Dick Tracy ("Fearless Fosdick") and a few things like that were pretty funny, but his "Joanie Phoanie" shtick was just nasty and mean-spirited. Poor L'il Abner. From then on, it was downhill all the way.
