LI'L  ABNER  CARTOON  STAMP

ON

"SADIE  HAWKINS  DAY"  COMMERCIAL  COVER

Here is a fun cover!  A plate number single of the Classic Cartoon Series "Li'l Abner" stamp used to mail a payment from a fast food restaurant to its produce supplier, which just happens to be named LIL ABNER'S PRODUCE CO (named for its owner, Mr. Abner Penn).  The real kicker is that it is mailed on February 29, 1996 -- "Sadie Hawkins Day" (Leap Year).  And it is a legitimate commercial usage!
