For easy reference, there should be such listings as 'Alligator, Albert, swallows frog child, p. 11; dons impenatrabobble disguise as ol' Sizzle Grinder, p. 19; heads Pogo delegation to 1952 convention, p.52; pretends to be silent scream star, Lulu Arfin' Nanny, p. 234.'<br /><br />"Without such assistance the reader (to say nothing of the reviewer) must go through the entire 288 pages. No maps, no index, and no bibliography."<br /><br />-- "Reviewer Gets Tough," <i>Kansas City Star,</i> Nov. 1959, reprinted on back cover of paperback editions of <i>Ten E-L B-E Years</i> and <i>Pogo Extra.</i><br /><br />Googling for "Walt Kelly Pogo index" finds a link to <a href="https://skunkworks.ru/2009/12/22/pogo-indexes/" rel="nofollow">this Russian site,</a> which is not really an index, just a combined table of contents for the books, but that's better than nothing.Larry Kuenninghttp://www.qhpress.orgnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4432079904664551988.post-51681918127522198382016-10-30T17:42:44.093-06:002016-10-30T17:42:44.093-06:00Larry, an index, what a fine idea.

What's happened to them, I wanna know? Can't see 'em from out here.<br /><br />Has this duck appeared in any other strips? He's obviously not the same as Mailman Duck, nor as Mallard de Mer, the seasick duck who rides a kiddie car. (If I could just remember where MdM is in the S&S books. Too bad there's no index.)Larry Kuenninghttp://www.qhpress.orgnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4432079904664551988.post-44191912712163256602016-10-30T04:49:56.101-06:002016-10-30T04:49:56.101-06:00not only excitement, pathos, humor, but also a BIG...not only excitement, pathos, humor, but also a BIG BOOM...<br />As somebody not long ago said (but then said, he never said, or did he?): What use is a prfectly good bomb if you do not intend to use it?<br /><br />Carry on, Thom!
