2008 is apparently the 75th Anniversary of
Alley Oop, the lovable, fuzzy underwear wearing caveman. Well, Alley Oop was never my favorite comic strip, I don't care if it was honored with a postage stamp in 1995. I've made fun of Oop on several occasions in this blog and I don't regret it. I went looking around the Internet to try to find old Oop strips from the '30s and '40s but I couldn't so I figured I'd post this week's strips. Enjoy and be sure to peruse 75th Anniversary merchandise
currently on sale.

Oh my God! You're breaking the fourth wall!! I think in all honesty, a crazed caveman with an axe would almost immediately kill those two if he got too wound up. But at least now we know why we had this huge lead-up to Oop's birthday.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, BIG GUY!
