Alley Oop is a syndicated comic strip, created in 1932 by American cartoonist V. T. Hamlin. As of 2007, the strip was being produced by Carol Bender and Jack Bender.

The strip is a mix of adventure, fantasy and humor. Alley Oop, the strip's namesake and leading character, was a sturdy citizen of the prehistoric kingdom of Moo who rode his pet dinosaur, Dinny, carried a stone war hammer, dressed in nothing but a pair of fur shorts, and obviously would rather fight dinosaurs in the jungle than deal with his fellow countrymen in Moo's capital (and only) cave-town. In spite of these exotic settings, the stories were mostly satires of American suburban life.
