Page "Al Capp" Paragraph 78

Al Capp's life and career are the subjects of a new life-sized mural commemorating his 100th birthday.

Created by resident artist Jon P. Mooers, the mural was unveiled in downtown Amesbury on May 15, 2010.

According to the Boston Globe ( as reported on May 18, 2010 ), the town has renamed its amphitheater in the artist's honor, and is looking to develop an Al Capp Museum.

Capp is also the subject of an upcoming WNET-TV American Masters documentary, The Life and Times of Al Capp, produced by his granddaughter, independent filmmaker Caitlin Manning.
