A Lum and Abner comic strip?

Yes, indeed. The crew over at First Arkansas News is working on a new project -- a Lum and Abner comic strip.

For those unfamiliar, Lum and Abner is a comic team from western Arkansas that was huge on old time radio and even made a few movies.

Provided that a few things fall in place (such as funding), First Arkansas News will publish a weekly column strip featuring Lum and Abner. Sound like fun? It sure as heck does, and you can read all about that effort by clicking here.
