That's of course where the Pogo books came into play. Read, reread, go out and find and collect another Pogo book. Finding a Pogo book that you hadn't read before was the treasure of treasures.
But between those times, at least a new strip would show up every 24 hours. I would clip em, save em, and before I knew it—I had a bunch of em. And then I would collect them into a book of my own, laying them out in a similar fashion as Kelly's printed books, with room for extra art and commentary.
And that's why we have these strips to look at now, because I made my own books and kept them all these years.
24 hours is a long time sometimes, isn't it?
Thanks for republishing these old Pogo strips. Reading Pogo in the paper was of the things I really enjoyed with my Dad, at one point he / we had quite a collection of Pogo paperbacks. I got rid of them when they were brown and crumbling, after sitting in a damp basement for too long. Chris
