Wonmug

Perhaps this is a quibble, but it is a misconception that "Ein stein" means "one mug" in German. It actually translates as "one stone" or "a stone." I know that Americans commonly call large beer mug "steins" but this is not what native German speakers call them (Becher). Ozarkbunnyboy 14:40, 21 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Fozy is his mate?

So is Fozy his mate as in mating or his mate as in buddy? Meelar 19:44, 8 Jun 2004 (UTC)

[1] Apparently Oop and Foozy are just good friends. I've updated the info and character spellings accordingly. Gamaliel 20:00, 8 Jun 2004 (UTC)

Thanks. For a non-Australian, when I read that, I thought "So he's cheating on Foozy with Oola? That bastard!" Meelar 20:04, 8 Jun 2004 (UTC)

Thanks too. Well, you cannot expect a Brazilian to be keen on such subtle distinctions.
Oops, wait, let me rephrase that...

Oop Ain't Dead

Alley Oop displays today's strip. What's this "was" crap, throughout the article? --Jerzy (t) 17:31, 2005 Jan 5 (UTC)

Technically not the same character, but a somewhat alike one figures in Clifford D. Simak's novel "Goblin Reservation". The literary references could be mentioned somewhere. (I have a little personal interest in the development of oopica ;) , but too little time and knowledge.) --Oop 19:25, 13 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]

I would like to see a reference to Goblin Reservation added to the article. Rick Norwood 20:44, 13 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Song lyrics

My memory of the song lyrics is that they went, "Alley Oop, Oop -- Oop Oop" (rather than five Oops as in the article). But I don't have a recording, so I can be sure. Can anyone pin this down? Rick Norwood 22:15, 14 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Alley Oop Oop, Oop, Oop Oop. Wahkeenah 00:17, 15 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Guzzle and Tunk

"Many a king on a first class throne If he wants to call his crown his own Must manage somehow to get through More dirty deeds than ever I do." Rick Norwood 19:46, 8 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Alley Oop's girlfriend

Note the spelling of Alley Oop's girlfriend: Ooola (3 O's, not 2 as in the article). This is confirmed by the author in the website below: [www.unitedmedia.com/comics/alleyoop/html/contact_the_artist.html] —Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.69.239.104 (talk) 05:44, 9 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Created in 1933

This external link has the creation year as 1933. Any objection to changing the wiki from 1932 to 1933? Gouveia2 (talk) 17:35, 7 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Alley Oop was created by V. T. Hamlin in 1932, and ran, for about a year, locally before it achieved national syndication, with the story restarting from the beginning, in 1933. Rick Norwood (talk) 13:23, 8 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Date of the Time Machine

The Time Machine was introduced April 5, 1939. The date in the text is correct, but the caption under the picture says 1937. Is there any objection to changing the caption under the picture to 1939? See ILoveComixArchive.com. Perry Hotter (talk) 23:33, 7 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I went ahead and changed the date. The link is http://www.ilovecomixarchive.com/A/Alley-Oop/Alley-Oop-1939/11209848_CCnro#786024482_Hz5mZ which verifies the date. And I realize I misspelled 'Sunday' in the History section. Perry Hotter (talk) 14:29, 9 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
