My guess is that this panel, which concludes "The Pogo Papers" was one draw specifically for the book. But at a period when I think of Walt Kelly preferring a strip filled with characters and talk balloons and not much background, this is some lush stuff.
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.
Kelly didn't draw enough cypress knees in the swamp. Those things are hallmark of southern marshes.
