Al Capp propagandized for the Vietnam War in his cartoons.
His mildly amusing drawings cannot erase my loathing for the man.
I'm much less enamored of him as an adult than I was as a child. Then, I saw his stock characters as amusing. Now, while reading the smattering of Shmoo strips, I found them distorted and offensive.
I do, however, have fond memories of Lower Slobvia. And the Shhmoos themselves, disregarding the political statement Al Capp was making.
