Grandpap Doesn't Show Up

Description

Grandpappy Spears' coming-out party is about to start, but there's a big problem—the guest of honor hasn't shown up yet. It turns out that Lum forgot to send him an invitation!

Lum and Abner was an American network radio comedy program created by Chester Lauck and Norris Goff that was produced from 1931 to 1954. Modeled on life in the small town of Waters, Arkansas, near where Lauck and Goff grew up, the show proved immensely popular. In 1936, Waters changed its name to "Pine Ridge" after the show's fictional town.
