Alley Oop Alley Oop, created in 1933 by V.T. Hamlin, is drawn by Jack Bender and written by Carole Bender. The classic caveman comic strip is syndicated worldwide by Newspaper Enterprise Association.

The comic strip revolves around the irrepressible Alley Oop, who travels from prehistoric Moo all the way to the 21st century in his friend Doc Wonmug's time machine. Other favorite regulars in the strip include King Guz and Queen Umpa (the king and queen of Moo), Oscar and Ava (assistants to Wonmug), and Ooola (Alley Oop's girlfriend).

V.T. Hamlin worked on Alley Oop for 40 years. Hamlin hired writer Dave Graue to assist him in 1950, and Graue continued writing for the strip until 2001. Jack Bender joined Graue as an assistant artist in 1990, becoming the full-time daily and Sunday Alley Oop artist a year later. In 2001, upon Graue's retirement, Carole Bender began writing the strip.
