Mens Runs Away from Home

At some point in their lives, don't many folks (mens, womens & childrens) think of running away, even if just for a while, and then realize it's a package deal?

February 17, 1962

  1. I thunk we was about to get more Miz Beaver (visitin' Ma'm'selle Hepzibah) but now, between chapters of Deck Us All, we get more strips that were left out of the book -- how many?

    Pogo seems to have heard of Miz Beaver's chat with the bug lady (not ladybug), and maybe some others that we haven't seen.

    The biggest surprise here, to me, is the size of the Rackety Coon family. TWO tads? From the continual references to "the Rackety Coon Chile" I'da thunk there was only one. Plus the assorted grandparents and whatnot.

    R.C. Chile himself tried to run away from home way back in I Go Pogo, and from what was said there it wasn't his first try. In Prehysterical Pogo there's a scene where his pa (the character here) says he's gonna run off -- right in front of his Mrs. and the chile -- forgetting what's likely to happen, and sure enough they want to go with him.

  2. Larry, we will be jumping back to Miz Beaver and the Ma'm'selle very shortly. This Feb 17 strip was on a Saturday in '62, and as you may have noticed here and there, the Saturday strip was usually a stand-alone continuity-wise, for those folks who only subscribed to the weekend editions.
