Abbie an' Slats
''Abbie an' Slats'' is an American comic strip which ran from July 12, 1937 to January 30, 1971, initially written by Al Capp and drawn by Raeburn Van Buren. It was distributed by United Feature Syndicate.
''Abbie an' Slats'' was Capp's idea; he intended to start a second strip after the success of his popular ''Li'l Abner''. Instead of drawing it himself, Capp recruited well-established freelance magazine illustrator Van Buren. Initially, Van Buren turned down Capp's offer, but he was lured by the prospect of steady work.
The strip was widely syndicated to 400 newspapers, but it never equalled the popularity of ''Li'l Abner''. Capp abandoned the strip in 1945, turning the writing chores over to his brother Elliot Caplin. Van Buren continued ''Abbie an' Slats'' for 34 years, retiring in 1971. The National Cartoonists Society named him to their Hall of Fame in 1979.〔(''Abbie and Slats'' ) at Don Markstein's Toonopedia.

==Characters and story==
In 1937, the story began with stubborn, street-wise Aubrey Eustace Scrapple, aka Slats, recently orphaned in New York. Arriving by train in a small town of Crabtree Corners, where he was met by his older cousin, the spinster Abigail Scrapple, aka Abbie. Slats joined the household that also included Abbie's sister, the prim and proper Sally. Slats made an enemy of skinflint Jasper Hagstone when he drove into Hagstone's limousine while trying to avoid running over a dog. However, Hagstone's daughter, Judy, became the object of Slats's affection. Later, Becky Groggins became Slats's sweetheart. Becky's father, J. Pierpont "Bathless" Groggins, eventually became the central character of the Sunday strip.
