Oop was never one of my top favorite among ancient newspaper strips, but recently one of his time travel stories has been posted on a Facebook site for such stuff, and I have to say it leaves me wanting more. The art, of course, is top notch, and the story moves right along. I would never expect all of AO to be reprinted, but a big volume from his best years would be welcome. ---

The new version is on Comics Kingdom. A facebook page, “The comics appreciation (society? Group?)” has run some of the old ones, which are much better. ---

It says “photo not available”. What was it supposed to be? ---

Perhaps you need to join the page. Heck if I know. The link works for me, and I joined the page. Old Alley Oop is pretty cool. ---
