Luke Wilson Movie Fans

Luke Wilson will be part of the cast in the fim Lil’ Abner and the Schmoo. This movie was written and will be directed by Larry Charles.

Lil’ Abner Yokum was a comic book character in the comic strip that was loved by readers all over the country from 1934 to 1977. Lil’ Abner was HOT but virtuous and naive. He often ended up far from home (a place called Dogpatch) surrounded by businessmen and other types whose moral standards were much lower than Abner’s.

The Schmoo was an odd…uh….thing also featured in this comic strip. It looked kind of like Caspar the Ghost (in my opinion). Lil’ Abner discovered Schmoos when he wandered into a forbidden valley. Schmoo paraphanelia was very popular in the 1940’s–below is a real display of toys for sale long ago.
