ALLEY OOP

ALLEY OOP
   US COMIC strip, created and drawn by V(incent) T(rout) Hamlin (1900-1993), initially in 1932 for a firm which collapsed, then from 1933 for the NEA syndicate until his retirement in 1971, when it was taken over by other artists. Drawn in a style more comically exaggerated than usual in adventure strips, though with clear affection, Oop is a tough and likeable Neanderthal warrior, half Popeye, half Buck Rogers. His adventures were initially restricted to his home territory of Moo (the echo of Mu clearly being deliberate) but he soon began to visit various human eras - and the Moon - via Professor Wonmug's TIME-TRAVEL device. There were several pre-War comic-book versions, including Alley Oop and Dinny (graph 1934), a Big Little Book; Alley Oop in the Invasion of Moo (graph 1935), an original story in a format similar to the Big Little Books; as a one-short comic, issue 35 of The Funnies in 1938; and Alley Oop and the Missing King of Moo (1938 chap). Some extended tales appear in Hamlin's Alley Oop: The Adventures of a Time-Traveling Caveman: Daily Strips from July 20, 1946 to June 20, 1947 (graph coll 1990).
