I read that this is the last LI'L ABNER comic strip drawn by its creator Al Capp (1909-1979).  The strip is dated November 1977.  Al Capp was getting to be a bitter about the production of the strip.  Actually Detective Fearless Fostick was a comic strip within in a comic strip.  If was Li'l Abner's favorite comic strip..

In the above comic strip reminds me the results of placing a species where it has no natural enemies.  Here is Georgia years ago the government officials imported kudzu from Japan to do help prevent soil erosion.  With no natural enemies it flourished and now is almost uncontrollable.  

Also I remember hearing years ago when Australia was under British control a wife of a British officer bought come cacti for her garden.  The cacti got carried away and became a nuisance.   Then the Bits imported rabbits to take care of the cactus problem.   Then, rabbits, with no natural enemy there became the problem.  Then snakes were hauled in to take care of the rabbits, and then they had a new problem.  I don't haven't heard the latest problem.
