Happy 75th Birthday, Alley Oop!

I went to the Toy and Action Figure Museum in Pauls Valley on Saturday to celebrate the 75th birthday of “Alley Oop” with Jack and Carole Bender, who are the creative team for the comic strip.  Congratulations to them on their success! “Alley Oop” was  created in 1933 by V.T. Hamlin.  Jack Bender became an assistant on”Alley Oop” in 1990, and the full-time artist in 1991.  Carole Bender has written the strip since 2001.

The Oklahoma-based Benders also work with the Oklahoma Cartoonists’ Collection, housed at the museum.
