In 1948, Al Capp introduced the Shmoo in his popular "Li'l Abner"
strip and it truly took the nation by storm. The Shmoo was a lovable tub of glub
whose bewhiskered smile was a as cute as his button eyes. The Shmoo bred with a
speed that would put rabbits to shame, consumed essentially nothing, and
provided most everything that humankind could wish for. Besides producing both
milk and eggs, its meat was pork when roasted, chicken when fried, and steak
when broiled. During its heyday the Shmoo inspired one of the first true
licensed-product bonanzas; appearing as a cornucopia of products that spawned as
fast as the Shmoos themselves. This statue comes packaged in a full-color tin
