[edit] Summary

This is a Fair Use of an excerpt from May 1, 1942 Li'l Abner strip. Although this is still under copyright, inclusion here qualifies for Fair Use under US Copyright law because:

It is used for a non-commercial and hopefully educational purpose.
It is representative of the topic since it shows:

J. R. Fangsley kidnapping Salome (a not-uncommon problem for Salome), and

Gives details of her status as the last female Hammus alabammus (with a zoot snoot and drape shape, no less).

It is only a small part of the overall work, i.e. 25% of a single day's installment or perhaps 1/40,000 all panels.
It should not affect the commercial viability of the copyright (IMHO it should enhance it).
