Al Capp's legendary L'il Abner transitioned into animated shorts courtesy of Columbia/Screen Gems. Only a handful of shorts were made, and difficult to find.
For an example of how Capp's satirical humor translated onto the screen, here' "Kickapoo Juice" (it's actually Kickapoo Joy Juice in the strip, but either way, it's a bizarre form of moonshine)
I remember reading L'il Abner when it appeared in the NY Daily News back in the day until Capp retired. Silly stuff, and keep in mind, this pre-dated the TV series, Beverly Hillbillies, by a few decades.
Rating: B.
