Running until 1977, it featured a clan of hillbillies in the mountain town of Dogpatch, Kentucky. Li’l Abner had a profound influence on how the world viewed the American South. At its peak, the comic strip reached more than 60 million readers in over 900 America newspapers. On the surface, the stereotypical hillbilly humor was just a cover for Al Capp’s take on events, trends, and politics of his time.

Dogpatch USA, located in the Ozark Mountains of Arkansas, was a theme park based on Al Capp's comic strip, Li'l Abner. It closed its doors in 1993, and now, most of the parks lays in ruins.
