Harrisburg SHMOO Fan




SHMOOs, droll little creatures in the shape of upside-down light bulbs, were introduced in Al Capp's L'IL ABNER comic strip in 1948.
They became a national craze and I loved them.

Here they are seen on my T-shirt playing baseball. Which is remarkable because they didn't have any arms.

View big to see how they do it.
