Until we can get some new scans from DJ David B., who is still dealing with a flood cleanup, we are digging back into my collection of Pogo Sundays. This is the 1st of a 3 Sunday arc, all about spending time in bed. And when Kelly draws that subject it looks so cozy that I just gotta go hibernate for a few hours myself.
November 29, 1964
A fitting continuation to Groundhog Day (even though a November sunday)

ReplyDeleteWhat is so rare as a great Walt Kelly blog? Stumbled across your posts and very glad to have found them. Stuff I'd never seen before - Peter Wheat and some of your Sunday pages in particular. You asked for comments from Kelly-inspired cartoonists? I'm one - I discovered my Dad's collection of Pogo books when I was about seven, and they made a huge impression on me. I'm now an illustrator and a recently-published comic book illustrator/writer and I'm sure if you looked you could see Kelly's influence in my work. Thanks for all these great posts - I'm looking forward to working my way through three years' worth of your archive! Cheers.
ReplyDeleteHello John, welcome! So good to hear from you. I will be looking in on your work, as well.
