And at that level you can really see that economy of art that you speak of. It's really too bad that Pogo was not reproduced at the size that strips were in the golden age of comic strips.<br /><br /> Mary-Ellen and Mike—Excellent exposition.

His technical ability was fabulous, making his art gorgeous to look at, in both composition and down to individual lines or brush strokes. He would be fondly remembered if his talent stopped there. He was also a talented animator and story-teller though. As such, the characters in his comic strips and comic books become alive with dimension, action and personality. I love to look at single drawings, but it is in watching his characters leap and bound all over the page on a Sunday strip or in his book collections that I am most happy.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09775006947157190278noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4432079904664551988.post-47055530328791330802010-03-10T16:41:44.975-07:002010-03-10T16:41:44.975-07:00I wish I could word it better, too.

I know exactly what you mean.<br /><br />One thing that did strike me looking at this strip trying to figure out how to say what we're trying to say is the amazing economy of the artwork. The level of detail Kelly achieved with just a few lines is mind-boggling.Erichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18312768583084063120noreply@blogger.com
