Once again, the ever-generous OtherEric of The Digital Comic Museum has bestowed upon us another installment of Walt Kelly's The Adventures of Peter Wheat. This is issue number 8, which introduces the concept of espionage to young readers.

    Outside of what may be inferred from the content of stories such as this, is there any indication of how Kelly felt about real wild beasts — mice, lizards, &c?

    Daniel, Kelly was a city boy, so his exposure was limited, 'cept maybe to rats and roaches. He drew many a mouse in his day, but I certainly don't know of any record of his feeling about em.

    Jeff, now that's a reaction that OtherEric and I love to hear and inspires us to dig up more.
