Strange Brew

In the earliest Alley Oop strips, a major feature of the strips was the dinosaur notebook which the author included periodically. Since V.T. Hamlin was first inspired to pen Alley Oop after unearthing a pretty big dinosaur graveyard in Texas, I would think that Hamlin would still be fairly interested in all of the latest discoveries regarding prehistoric life. It seems to me that, when Hamlin began penning the Alley Oop strips, Piltdown Man was considered to be “the real deal.” In the years following, of course, Piltdown was proved to be a hoax – and some people suspect that none other than Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, the creator of Sherlock Holmes, had a hand in putting the Piltdown Hoax over on the gullible public!
