Ahhhh, but it was not named for the comic strip. See Dana's interesting
website,
www.borglumsiris.com, under
"Dana's articles,", "Saga Ally Oops," for the whole story.

Good to
know, though in all fairness, the comic strip was "Alley Oop,"
and a
number of iris nurseries have made the same mistake. I tried
looking it up
in the AIS wiki under both spellings and it doesn't show
up in search
results, even though I subsequently found its page linked
from the
Randolph-Perry Medal page.
