Initially known as "Mysterious Yokum" there was even an Ideal doll marketed under this name due to a debate regarding his gender he was stuck in a pants-shaped stovepipe for the first six weeks , he was renamed "Honest Abe" after President Abraham Lincoln to thwart his early tendency to steal. His first words were "po'k chop," and that remained his favorite food. He would eventually acquire a couple of supporting character friends for his own semi-regularly featured adventures in the strip.
Tiny was unknown to the strip until September , when a relative who had been raising him reminded Mammy that she'd given birth to a second "chile" while visiting her 15 years earlier. The relative explained that she would have dropped him off sooner, but waited until she happened to be in the neighborhood. Capp introduced Tiny to fill the bachelor role played reliably for nearly two decades by Li'l Abner himself, until his fateful marriage threw the carefully orchestrated dynamic of the strip out of whack for a period.
Pursued by local lovelies Hopeful Mudd and Boyless Bailey, Tiny was even dumber and more awkward than Abner, if that can be imagined. Tiny initially sported a bulbous nose like both his parents, but eventually through a plot contrivance he was given a nose job, and his shaggy blond hair was buzz cut to make him more appealing. Salomey: The Yokums' beloved pet. Cute, lovable and intelligent arguably smarter than Abner, Tiny or Pappy , she was accepted as part of the family, "the youngest," as Mammy invariably introduces her.
A plump, juicy Hammus Alabammus is the rarest and most vital ingredient of "ecstasy sauce," an indescribably delicious gourmet delicacy. Consequently, Salomey is frequently targeted by unscrupulous sportsmen, hog breeders and gourmands like J. Fangsley and Bounder J. Roundheels , as well as unsavory boars with improper intentions such as Boar Scarloff and Porknoy. Her moniker was a pun on both salami and Salome.
He cleans up once a year — during Sadie Hawkins Day season, when slow-footed bachelors are dragged kicking and screaming to the altar by their prospective brides-to-be. Sam, whose face and figure were reportedly modeled after New York City mayor Fiorello LaGuardia, started out as a stock villain but gradually softened into a genial, opportunistic comic foil.
He wasn't above chicanery to achieve his ends, and was warily viewed by Dogpatch menfolk as a traitor to his gender. Sam was prominently featured on the cover of Life in when he presided over the celebrated wedding of Li'l Abner and Daisy Mae. In the Broadway musical and film adaptation, Sam was perfectly played by rotund actor Stubby Kaye. Moonbeam McSwine: The unwashed but shapely form of languid, delectable Moonbeam was one of the iconic hallmarks of Li'l Abner — an unkempt, impossibly lazy, corncob pipe-smoking, flagrant and fragrant , raven-haired, earthly and earthy goddess.
Beautiful Moonbeam preferred the company of pigs to suitors — much to the frustration of her equally lazy pappy, Moonshine McSwine. She was usually showcased luxuriating among the hogs, somewhat removed from the main action of the story, in a deliberate travesty of glamour magazines and pinup calendars of the day.
Capp designed her in caricature of his wife Catherine minus the dirt , who had also suggested Daisy Mae's name. Hairless Joe and Lonesome Polecat: The proud purveyors of "Kickapoo Joy Juice" — a moonshine elixir of such stupefying potency that the fumes alone have been known to melt the rivets off battleships. Concocted in a large wooden vat by the inseparable cave-dwelling buddies Lonesome Polecat he of the Fried Dog Indian tribe, later known as the Polecats, "the one tribe who have never been conquered," and Hairless Joe a hirsute, club-wielding, modern Cro-Magnon — who frequently made good on his oft-repeated threat, "Ah'll bash yore haid in!
When a batch "needs more body," the formidable pair simply goes out and clubs one often a moose , and tosses it in. Over the years, the "recipe" has called for live grizzly bears, panthers, kerosene, horseshoes and anvils, among other ingredients. Joe Btfsplk: The world's worst jinx, Joe Btfsplk had a perpetually dark rain cloud over his head.
Instantaneous bad luck befell anyone unfortunate enough to be in his vicinity. Though well-meaning and friendly, his reputation inevitably precedes him — so Joe is a very lonely little man. He has an apparently unpronounceable name, but creator Al Capp "pronounced" Btfsplk by simply blowing a "raspberry," or Bronx cheer.
Joe's personal storm cloud became one of the most iconic images in the strip. Senator Jack S. Phogbound: His name was a thinly disguised variant on "jackass," as made plain in his deathless campaign slogan see Dialogue and catchphrases. Phogbound is a corrupt, conspiratorial blowhard; he often wears a coonskin cap and carries a ramrod rifle to impress his gullible constituents.
In one sequence, Phogbound is unable to campaign in Dogpatch — so he sends his aides with an old, hot air-filled gas bag that resembles him. Nobody noticed the difference! Available Jones: Dogpatch entrepreneur Available Jones was always available — for a price. He provided anything from a safety pin to a battleship, but his most famous "provision" was his memorable cousin — Stupefyin' Jones.
Stupefyin' Jones: A walking aphrodisiac, Stupefyin' was stunning — literally. So drop-dead gorgeous that any male who glimpsed her froze petrified in his tracks and rooted to the spot — in a word, stupefied! While she was generally favored by the males of Dogpatch, she could be deadly for a confirmed bachelor to encounter on Sadie Hawkins Day.
Statuesque actress Julie Newmar became famous overnight for playing the small role in the Li'l Abner Broadway musical and the film adaptation without uttering a single line. Bullmoose was the epitome of a mercenary, cold-blooded capitalist tyrant tycoon. Bullmoose's bombastic motto see Dialogue and catchphrases was adapted by Capp from a statement made by Charles E. Wilson, the former head of General Motors when it was America's largest corporation.
In Wilson told a Senate subcommittee, "What is good for the country is good for General Motors, and vice-versa. Bullmoose had a simple boyhood dream: to possess all the money in the world. He very nearly did. Bullmoose Industries seemed to own or control everything. He had a milksop of a son named Weakfish, and was sometimes accompanied by his delectable "secretary," Bim Bovak, whose name was a pun on both "bimbo" and bombshell actress Kim Novak.
Li'l Abner became embroiled in many globetrotting adventures with the ruthless, reactionary billionaire over the years. Wolf Gal: A feral, irredeemable, Amazonian beauty who was raised by wolves and preferred to live among them; she lured unwary Dogpatchers to their doom to feed her ravenous pack.
Wolf Gal was possibly, and even probably a cannibal — although the point was never stressed since she considered herself an animal, as did the rest of Dogpatch. One of Capp's more popular villains, Wolf Gal was briefly merchandised in the fifties with her own comic book, doll, handpuppet, and even a latex Halloween mask. Earthquake McGoon: Billing himself as "the world's dirtiest wrassler," the bearded, bloated McGoon first appeared in Li'l Abner as a traveling exhibition wrestler in the late s, and was reportedly partially based on real-life grappler Man Mountain Dean.
He also has a look-alike cousin named Typhoon McGoon. McGoon became increasingly prominent in the Li'l Abner Cream of Wheat print ads of the 's, and later, with the early television exposure of gimmicky wrestlers such as Gorgeous George. Earthquake is the nastiest resident of neighboring Skonk Hollow — a nightmarish, notoriously lawless community where no sane Dogpatcher dares set foot. The randy McGoon often attempted to walk Daisy Mae home "Skonk Hollow style" — the lascivious implications of which are never made specific.
The shudder! Scraggs: Hulking, leering, gap-toothed twin miscreants Lem and Luke and their needlessly proud pappy, Romeo. Apelike and gleefully homicidal, the impossibly evil Scraggs were officially declared inhuman by an act of Congress. The Scraggs were so awful, they burned down orphanages just to have light to read by, although the joke was on them when they remembered they couldn't read!
Distant kinfolk of Daisy Mae, they carried on a blood feud with the Yokums throughout the run of the strip. Her censored first name was an expletive, compelling everyone who addressed her to apologize profusely afterwards. Nightmare Alice: Dogpatch's own "conjurin' woman," a hideous, cackling crone who practiced Louisiana Voodoo and black magic. Capp named her after the carnival-themed horror film, Nightmare Alley Alice employs witchcraft to "whomp up" ghosts and monsters to do her bidding.
She was occasionally assisted by Doctor Babaloo, a witch doctor of the Belgian Congo, as well as her demon-child niece Scary Lou, who specializes in vexing voodoo dolls that resemble Li'l Abner. Ole Man Mose: The mysterious Mose was reportedly hundreds of "y'ars" old, and lived like a hermit in a cave atop a mountain.
He obstinately refused to "kick the bucket," which was conveniently positioned just outside his cave door. His wisdom is absolute "Ole Man Mose — he knows! Evil-Eye Fleegle: Fleegle has a unique and terrifying skill — the evil eye. An ordinary "whammy," as he called it, could stop a charging bull in its tracks. A "double whammy" could fell a skyscraper, leaving Fleegle exhausted.
His dreaded "triple whammy" could melt a battleship — but would practically kill Fleegle in the process. The zoot suit-clad Fleegle was a native of Brooklyn, and his burlesque New York accent was unmistakable — especially when addressing his "goil," the zaftig Shoiley. Fleegle was so popular, licensed plastic replicas of Fleegle's face were produced in the 's, to be worn like lapel pins.
Battery-operated, the wearer could pull a string and produce a flashing light bulb "whammy. Finkle and his famous "hex" were a ringside fixture in New York boxing circles during the s and s. Fleegle was vividly portrayed by character actor Al Nesor in the aforementioned stage play and film. Roaringham Fatback: The self-styled "Pork King" was a greedy, gluttonous, unscrupulous business tycoon. Incensed to find that Dogpatch cast a shadow on his breakfast egg, he had Dogpatch moved — instead of the egg.
The bloated, porcine Fatback is, quite literally, a corporate swine. Aunt Bessie: Mammy's socialite kid sister, the Duchess of Bopshire, was the "white sheep" of the family. Bessie's string of marriages into Boston and Park Avenue aristocracy left her a class-conscious, condescending snob. Her status-seeking crusade to makeover Abner and marry him off into high society was doomed to failure, however.
Aunt Bessie virtually disappeared from the strip after Abner and Daisy Mae's marriage in Big Barnsmell: The lonely "inside man" at the "Skonk Works" — a dilapidated factory located on the remote outskirts of Dogpatch. Scores of locals are done in yearly by the toxic fumes of concentrated "skonk oil," which is brewed and barreled daily by Barnsmell and his cousin "outside man" Barney Barnsmell by grinding dead skunks and worn shoes into a smoldering still, for some unspecified purpose.
His job played havoc with his social life "He has an air about him," as Dogpatchers tactfully put it , and the name of his famous facility entered the modern lexicon via the Lockheed Skunk Works project. Soft-Hearted John: Dogpatch's impossibly mercenary, thoroughly blackhearted grocer, the ironically named Soft-Hearted John gleefully swindled and starved his clientele — and looked disturbingly satanic to boot. He had an idiot of a nephew who sometimes ran the store in his stead, aptly named Soft-Headed John.
Smilin' Zack: Cadaverous, outwardly peaceable mountaineer with a menacing grin and an even more menacing shotgun. He preferred things "quiet. Killmare: The local Dogpatch physician, who just happened to be a horse doctor. His name was a pun on movie, radio and TV's Dr. Kildare series. He was never photographed without his World War I spiked helmet on his head. He wore it to cover the hole in his head that had been caused by being shot "clean through th' haid, in a dogfight over Flanders Field in " by Cap'n Eddie Ricketyback.
Weakeyes Yokum: Before Mister Magoo there was Dogpatch's own Cousin Weakeyes, who would tragically mistake grizzly bears for romantically-inclined "rich gals" in fur coats, and end a sequence by characteristically walking off a cliff. Young Eddie McSkonk and U. Mule: Ancient, creaky, white-bearded Dogpatch postmaster and his hoary jackass mount. They were usually too feeble to handle the sacks of timeworn, cobweb-covered letters marked "Rush" at the Dogpatch Express post office.
McGenius was given to telling long-winded jokes with forgotten punch lines, however — as well as spells of hiccups and belches which, at ten grand a pop, usually bankrupted his unfortunate clients. He had a regrettable fondness for gassy soft drinks like "Burpsi-Booma" and "Eleven Urp.
Silent Yokum: Prudent Cousin Silent never utters a word unless it's absolutely, vitally important. Consequently, he hasn't spoken in 40 years. The arrival of Silent's grim visage in Dogpatch signaled earthshaking news on the horizon.
Capp would milk reader suspense by having Silent "warm up" his rusty, creaking jaw muscles for a few days, before the momentous pronouncement. Happy Vermin: The "world's smartest cartoonist" — a caricature of Ham Fisher — who hired Li'l Abner to draw his comic strip for him in a dimly-lit closet.
Instead of using Vermin's tired characters, Abner had inventively peopled the strip with hillbillies. A bighearted Vermin told his slaving assistant: "I'm proud of having created these characters!! They'll make millions for me!! And if they do — I'll get you a new light bulb!! Part of a virtual goon squad of comic mobsters that inhabited Li'l Abner and Fearless Fosdick, the oafish Stanislouse alternated with other all-purpose underworld thugs, including "the Boys from the Syndicate" — Capp's euphemism for The Mob.
The Square-Eyes Family: Mammy's revelatory encounter with these unpopular Dogpatch outcasts first appeared in The fable-like story was really a thinly-veiled appeal for racial tolerance. It was later issued as an educational comic book — called Mammy Yokum and the Great Dogpatch Mystery!
Appassionata Von Climax: One of a series of predatory, sexually aggressive sirens who pursued Li'l Abner prior to his marriage, and even afterwards, much to the consternation of Daisy Mae. Capp always wondered how he ever got her suggestive name past the censors. Tenderleif Ericson: Discovered frozen in the mud where her Viking ship sank in , Tenderleif was Leif Ericson's beautiful, teenaged kid sister, complete with breastplate armor, Viking helmet and burlesque Norwegian accent.
As soon as she saw Li'l Abner, however, she started warming up and breathing hard. Liddle Noodnik: A typically miserable resident of perpetually frozen Lower Slobbovia, naked local waif Liddle Noodnik was usually employed to recite a farcical poem of greeting to visiting dignitaries, or sing the absurd Slobbovian national anthem, see Setting and fictitious locales.
Like many terms in Li'l Abner, Noodnik's name was derived from Yiddish. Nudnik is a slang term for a bothersome person or pest. Pantless Perkins: A very late addition to the strip, Capp introduced Honest Abe's brainy, ragamuffin pal Pantless Perkins in a series of kid-themed stories in the seventies, probably to compete with Peanuts.
Poor Pantless didn't own a single pair of trousers. He wore an over-length turtleneck sweater to hide the fact — much to his embarrassment. In one storyline the nearest he ever got a pair of pants was when he helps Honest Abe find a long lost love of a millionaire in return for a pair of pants.
Unfortunately the prospective groom drops dead after tasting the terrible cooking of his bride to be - and Pantless remains pantless! Rotten Ralphie: The kiddie version of Earthquake McGoon, Ralphie lived up to his name — he was the perfectly rotten Dogpatch neighborhood bully. Exceedingly large for his age, Ralphie always wore a cowboy outfit that was several sizes too small.
In one storyline after Ralphie beats up every boy in Dogpatch at the same time, he himself is beaten up when Pantless Perkins and Honest Abe trick Ralphie into getting into a fight with the Scagg boys of Skonk Hollow! Her notoriety precedes her everywhere except Dogpatch — where she meets and falls for Tiny Yokum. Bet-a-Million Bashby: Bashby amassed his colossal fortune by following one simple rule: Always bet on a sure thing, and always bet with a fool.
He hadn't reckoned on fool's luck, however. All through the years Bashby bet on sure things, and all through the years Abner won. The Widder Fruitful: Another iconic Dogpatch "regular," often glimpsed in passing or featured in crowd scenes. The ample, fertile widow invariably held three or four naked newborns under each arm, always carried backside forward, with a healthy brood of earlier offspring following in her wake.
Loverboynik: In , Capp sent a letter to Liberace addressing his intention to spoof him in Li'l Abner as "Liverachy. Capp went ahead anyway, with a significant name change. Consciousness: is our ability to experience life. Thought: is the fact that we experience life via our thinking. These Principles govern us in the way that Gravity governs our experience of being on this planet. Gravity has no form, we cannot see or measure it, but we can observe the impact it has on us.
The Principles are not a method, a model or a practice.

There would be no mental illness. He is also one of the most popular speakers and teachers of the Three Principles, so there are a lot of podcast interviews with Dicken that are readily available. I would strongly recommend searching for them. To learn more about Dicken Bettinger, visit: www.
Dicken Bettinger Resources Most of Dicken's talks are filled with great wisdom, with simple and direct metaphors that have helped me deepen my understanding of the Three Principles. My favorite excerpt is: "Your true nature is pure being — invisible, yet essential. It is full of creative potential. The play of thought is constantly bringing us a wide array of feelings. When we understand that this wide array is the play of the Principles we can appreciate this dance created by the spiritual energy of life.
It is this struggle against the already created thoughts and feelings that creates the problem. It is this struggle that takes us out of the now and gets us entangled in the apparent reality of our thinking. It is this struggle that blocks the arising of our next thought that will shift our feeling.
After our dog died, Jacob stopped crying, went outside to ride his bike, and then he came back to her grave in the backyard and start crying, then he was angry and demanding, then he was back happily riding his bike. Left alone, struggle free, our wisdom keeps shifting our thinking in a healthy direction.
This is how the wisdom of our mind guides us to healing. When we understand that all feelings are just the natural creation or play of spiritual energy manifesting, then we can let it be and allow it to shift and change on its own. This shift happens naturally and is guided by the intelligence, or wisdom, behind life.
When grief and loss and sorrow wash through us unimpeded and without judgment we experience these feelings as the natural and beautiful flow of life. When our understanding of the play of thought allows us to stand open and receptive in the face of any thought whether of love or grief, and it flows through us naturally, then a deeper unconditional love arises that embraces all of life as it is and it flows out of us to touch those around us.

It is full of creative potential. It is formless. It is what many would call spiritual. As you experience and realize this dimension of being, it reveals to you more of your innate psychological well-being. It reveals an inner world of beautiful feelings such as peace, joy, happiness, compassion, and gratitude.
It reveals the richness of living fully in the now. It reveals a higher order of thinking with characteristics such as clarity, insight, perspective, motivation, inspiration, creativity, and common sense solutions to your daily challenges As a student of the 3 Principles for 27 years I have learned the beauty of allowing all thoughts and feelings to flow through me freely.
The play of thought is constantly bringing us a wide array of feelings. When we understand that this wide array is the play of the Principles we can appreciate this dance created by the spiritual energy of life. It is this struggle against the already created thoughts and feelings that creates the problem. It is this struggle that takes us out of the now and gets us entangled in the apparent reality of our thinking.
