    ok, back with momentum...
    1. Thank you, friend Thom!
    2. really one of my favourite arcs
    3.Pogo's larder must have a bottomless pit attached
    4. but with all the bearers in the caravan Beauregard surely will not greatly benefit from Owl's brainstorm

      Sometimes it seems that everyone in the swamp, but Pogo, is a deadbeat.

    Tom,

    That's one small step for Beauregard, one giant leap for cat-kind.

    Shame on you if you don't get the date-relevant reference! :-)

      Craig, oh I know, I should've remarked about the moon landing date, but I was busy thinking about my dad who passed away on July 20 some many years ago.

      The Pogo guys had already gone to the moon, Mars and pots unknown, so no big deal for them that day.

    Albert with a lit birthday cake on his head is a decided call-back to this image.

      Gonechoo, that's a lovely connection to a lovely drawing. Nothing quite cheers me up like a lovely Kelly drawing.

    You and me both. He loved callbacks. Well, okay, some people would cruelly call it recycling jokes, but it was good the first time...

    For example, Tea with Uncle Ears:

    It's neat seeing what Kelly emphasizes in the 20 year difference.
