Comment

according to Mort Walker's introduction to Outrageously Pogo, published by Fireside in 1985, Fisher's gripes with Al Capp at the National Cartoonists Society started when he claimed that some of Capp's characters in Li'l Abner were stolen from Joe Palooka. Walker makes no mention of wage disputes. This may want to be looked at further when the rest of the article is written.

Feud with Capp, and those doctored strips

I've added a quote from Fisher's friend, my father Morris Weiss, to the effect that the bogus strips Fisher disseminated to incriminate Capp were cut to look obscene, but that Fisher did not actually add anything by drawing on the artwork. This contradicts the general characterization of the fraudulent strips. I've not added this to Capp's bio, because though it's interesting, I don't want to appear as if I have an agenda to amend a sad piece of history. Discussion welcome.
