Alley Oop Cartoon Strip

I ran across this last night-

I watched a really interesting hour show last night on Iowa PBS- “V.T. Hamlin & Alley Oop”. V.T. Hamlin was born in Perry, IA, ran the Des Moines Registers cartoon syndicate for a few years, and then started his own strip “Alley Oop”. It had interviews with a bunch of underground cartoonists and current & former cartoonists for Alley Oop. The film seemed to have been recorded at ComicCon out in San Diego in 2005 and was directed by Max Allen Collins (Road to Perdition) and filmed/ edited through the University of Iowa. It had Frank Stack (Foolbert Sturgeon), Denis Kitchen (Kitchen Sink), Trina Robbins (Wimmen's Comix), Will Eisner (Spirit), William Stout (Slow Death), Stan Sakai (Albedo Comics), Russell Myers (Broomhilda), Sergio Aragones (Mad), Russ Cochran (Reprinted E.C. Comics), with Dave Graue, Jack Bender, and Carol Bender (Alley Oop cartoonists) interviews. I used to read Alley Oop back in the late ‘50’s and early ‘60’s in the old Des Moines Tribune. It was one of the strips that inspired me. It was a good film.

Has any one else ever seen this, or did it just get shown in Iowa due to all the Iowa connections? :hmmmm:

Alley Oop is not in our local paper anymore.

Does anyone collect Newspaper comic strips?

I really don't collect them, but I do have two. They are both from the forties, one is Flash Gordon, I can't remember what the other one is.
