Many artists have been influenced by Walt Kelly—his style, his humor, his unique way of telling a story—but none more so than one of our Friends-in-Kelly, 'Alimentary'.
Alimentary takes his pseudonym from an early Kelly character that wandered off from the storyline—a little alligator that was a brother or a cousin or something to Alabaster, Albert's nephew.
ANYway, 'Alimentary' is getting ready to premiere a comic that takes its styling from the very early Pogo comics when Albert was carnivorous, as alligators tend to be. As this preview graphic indicates, you can check it out in a couple of days at www.gonechoo.com
Thanks kindly to Thomas for making a to-do about this! I'm planning a lengthy introduction post about the journey getting to this point and the hows and whys of it on Sunday. Right now the www.gonechoo.com domain points to a tumblr account at gonechoo.tumblr.com for anyone who has issues with lazy domain name propa-gator.

And I've also finally properly gone out of anonymity.

I've been a Pogo fanatic for about 5 years now, but it seems like I've known all the characters forever. Ever since I've been introduced to Gon'e-choo Gator and his little acquaintance for a few months now, I can't stop reading and gazing at the artwork and use of grammar.
