Though filled with plot-happy cartoon Commies, Flora is strangely plotless. A stammeringly angry young Red (Bob Dishy) sweet-and-sour-talks a guileless fashion illustrator (Liza Minnelli) into carrying a card. When she surprises him with a half-undressed, wholly unabashed, free-love enterpriser (Cathryn Damon) and discovers that the chip on his shoulder is his head, she rips up both card...

Not long after, Sparky was hired to do a weekly cartoon panel that ran wherever the editor of the St. Paul Pioneer Press could find room for it. Called Li'I Folks, the panel included some forerunners of Peanuts, but it was doomed. After turning it out for nearly a year, Sparky asked the editor for more money. His answer: "No." Then how about giving...
