    In the early 1950's here were shmoos in the comic strips. They were white blobs with a head and I think Al Capp drew this. Does anybody know about shmoos?

    The Shmoo first appeared in the strip in August 1948. According to Shmoo legend, the lovable creature laid eggs, gave milk and died of sheer esctasy when looked at with hunger. The Shmoo loved to be eaten and tasted like any food desired. Anything that delighted people delighted a Shmoo. Fry a Shmoo and it came out chicken. Broil it and it came out steak. Shmoo eyes made terrific suspender buttons. The hide of the Shmoo if cut thin made fine leather and if cut thick made the best lumber. Shmoo whiskers made splendid toothpicks. The Shmoo satisfied all the world's wants. You could never run out of Shmoon (plural of Shmoo) because they multiplied at such an incredible rate.

    		Schmoos were indeed a product of Al Capp and schmoos became a great sensation. Everyone loved them!! They were relatively shortlived though and that was unfortunate.
