If you consider Li'l Abner contributed to noir with the
introduction of Joe Btfsplk and shmoos, hard boiled with
Fearless Fosdick and Lower Slobbovia--what environment is
more hard boiled than that--fantasy/horror with Evil Eye
Fliegel, and women's lib with Sadie Hawkins' Day, the early
strip seems essential to many genres. Mark
