Li'l Abner character jug - Pearce Pottery 1952

Li'l Abner character jug produced by Pearce Pottery of the United States in 1952. Li'l Abner is a satirical American comic strip that appeared across multiple newspapers worldwide. It featured a fictional clan of hillbillies in the impoverished mountain village of Dogpatch, USA. Written and drawn by Al Capp, the strip ran for 43 years from 1934 through 1977. Li'l Abner Yokum was 6 feet 3 inches tall and perpetually 19 years old. He was portrayed as a naive, simpleminded, gullible and sweet-natured hillbilly, living in a ramshackle log cabin with his pint-sized parents. Abner's primary goal in the storyline was evading the marital designs of Daisy Mae Scragg, the virtuous, voluptuous, barefoot Dogpatch damsel and scion of the Yokum's blood feud enemies, the Scraggs, who were her character's bloodthirsty kinfolk.
