Shmoo?



If you are close to my age, you might remember the Shmoo. That was Al Capp's contribution to society via his Lil' Abner comic strip, which was really much more serious than it appeared. Honest.

I was 9 years old in the midst of the Shmoo frenzy and I remember that dad bought us an inflatable Shmoo that would stand upright and bounce back up if it were punched. Which we did.

So why did I bring this up? Oddly enough the Shmoo came up as a topic of discussion during our Bible study last night. And this morning I passed the Shmoo link on to our pastor. I think there's a sermon here!
