Hoo boy, I love that . . . "morn hath flung the rock what puts the stars to flight."
This is the first of a 12 Sunday arc, that I'll post consecutively, that sorta takes flight around the Fort Mudge Memorial Dump. And, in fact, that's what I'm labeling this sequence.
The art is good, the coloring is dense, and there's some fun scattered throughout. Keep comin' back every couple days.
Hi there! First of all, thank you for this fantastic blog. I grew up with Pogo and it's lovely to see some of these fine and rare images.

Has flung the Stone that puts the Stars to Flight:
And Lo! the Hunter of the East has caught
The Sultán's Turret in a Noose of Light.
