I thought Al Cap's work was still under copyright?

I believe that all Al Capp's work is somehow, still under copyright. Otherwise we'd have some here on CB+. Therefore, it seems that the reason this giveaway comic book is in The Public Domain must be because Capp drew this allowing his characters to be used in this 1946 publication, explaining to wounded soldiers returning from WWII service with missing limbs or other disablements, that that setback shouldn't discourage them from going after their life goals. As his charitable contribution to the American Red Cross' causes, and he didn't copyright this publication, as he gave it to The Red Cross for their own use. That means that individuals can share this particular publication publicly, but not use it to make money for themselves, as Li'l Abner is still Capp's trademark.

StoryLi'l Abner (33 pages)
SynopsisWhen Al Capp leaves his studio, the Yokums come out of his inkwell and draw a comic strip biography of Capp in the same style as Li'l Abner. Li'l Abner does the story and artwork on the biography despite distractions like Moonbean McSwine attacking Daisy Mae, and later Mammy Yokum, with an ink eraser.

First LineThe Studio of Al Capp ---
NotesStory begins on inside front cover in color. Story emphasizes Capp having his leg amputated after being hit by a street car and his life after that, including a sequence where Capp and his friend take a trip down South and meet a family that just coincidently looks just like the Yokums. In one panel, Capp's wife is shown helping him ink his daily strips. Art appears to be mostly by Capp's studio, as some pages are better drawn than others. Lettering is all the same and is done by whoever was lettering the newspaper strip at that time. The story is not signed. The reprint in Life Magazine credits story, pencils, and part inking to Capp and part inking and lettering to Walter Johnson. The comic was done for the Red Cross to be distributed to war veterans who had limbs amputated.
