I do hope you will continue with these marvelous comics, notwithstanding the number of responses you ever receive from the people. I'm confident that Pogo will be appreciated through many future generations. When I regret not having grandchildren, it is partly because I cannot introduce them to such a constant joy as Pogo, who has been with ME now for more than sixty years.
When I was in high school, in 1952, Walt Kelly answered my request and sent a carton with a large supply of I GO POGO campaign buttons, so we could give one to every person who bought an issue of our school newspaper. Plus, he gave me an autographed daily strip original, dated 1-28 and copyright 1953, which is framed for archival preservation and on the wall across the room from me now.
My name is Thom Buchanan.
I'm an artist and photographer.
People are my favorite subjects to portray in art and photos. My wife (and studio partner) has called that my 'people skills', as I've been passionately creating portrait studies for many years.
I refer to myself as a pictorialist, a combination of image-making and journalist. Images are my life.
Pogo really makes my days--keep them coming--charlie
