Our sixth Christmas comic strip in the Lum and Abner series was originally published in 2016! As you have probably noticed, several Lum and Abner Christmas comics contain “recycled” art. The reason for this? Sometimes my schedule becomes so hectic that it’s difficult to produce all-new content in advance since the newspapers need the strips by the first of the month. The illustrations this time were produced in 1988 for a fun, imaginary book called Lum and Abner’s Christmas 1988 Wish Book! If you’ve never heard of “The Wish Book,” ask a grandparent or other person who might remember that term. There were several pages of this material in the December 1988 issue of The Jot ‘Em Down Journal (published by The National Lum and Abner Society) and you will see more in upcoming reruns!
