Subject: RE: BS: The True Double Whammy
I well remember Evil-Eye Fleegle—in his zoot suit—and the rest of Capp's wonderful characters. It was one reason I always looked forward to Sunday mornings as a child. Capp was a prime example of someone who keeps working longer than is warranted, long after all his best ideas have been expressed. In later years he became cought up in hateful right-wing politics and started bringing that into the strip. It finally ended long after it should have to the relief of nearly everyone.
Still, his characters and stories were great fun and everyone had a secret crush on Moonbeam McSwine.
