List of Alley Oop Time Travels
Alley Oop is a syndicated comic strip created in 1932 by American cartoonist V. T. Hamlin, who wrote and drew the popular and influential strip through four decades for Newspaper Enterprise Association. Hamlin introduced an engaging cast of characters, and his story lines entertained with a combination of adventure, fantasy, and humor. While the strip began in 1932 Hamlin did not introduce the time lab until 1939 when he felt a need to expand the story line.
