But I never knew how that whole conflict was resolved, or perhaps Kelly simply dropped it after a while.<br /><br />ChrisChris Barathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06845538037091279990noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4432079904664551988.post-76848084779381518872014-06-03T04:49:09.143-06:002014-06-03T04:49:09.143-06:00Reinventing the bicycle seems to be the common bel...Reinventing the bicycle seems to be the common belief in comics, instead of building on the foundations laid by the greats. There's a value to innovation, but innovation shouldn't just be 'edgy' for the sake of it.<br /><br />This is some of what drove me into starting my own comic strip, was the feeling that no one was picking up on what I felt was 'the peripheries of friendly but unexplored territory. In short, there's never enough semi-amicable cartoon alligators out there.<br /><br />- GGAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04855752934669948593noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4432079904664551988.post-55478551504539441912014-06-03T00:40:31.465-06:002014-06-03T00:40:31.465-06:00I had a well mis-spent childhood.

My first catalog reading was the Pogo Puce Book. My language has been permanently impacted. And now I write software manuals--we may all be doomed. But as ol' Porky Pine say, "Don't take life too serious, it ain't nohow permanent."<br />All of which is to say: Thank you.<br />-KevinKevinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04415345283350861149noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4432079904664551988.post-53545885802309511272014-06-02T19:23:54.976-06:002014-06-02T19:23:54.976-06:00The general public would have no idea what Kelly w...<i>The general public would have no idea what Kelly was sourcing, and so what?

After a few weeks' stretch in 1951, Solid took off for fame and fortune in N'Orleans, presumably vanishing into the realm of obscure one-shot Kelly guest stars. But then in 1962, Kelly attempted to explain the discrepancy in Krushchev's various appearances (sometimes as a bear, sometimes as a pig) by revealing that Pig-Krushchev was actually, of all people, Solid MacHogany in disguise! The sweet, music-loving S.M. of '51 must have fallen on some truly hard times to have ended up as such a megalomaniac. Anyone writing a Kelly fan fiction might consider telling the story of Solid's lost years!<br /><br />~CraigAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4432079904664551988.post-47277596265742786742014-06-01T13:53:18.366-06:002014-06-01T13:53:18.366-06:00Tom,

Mudge dump, which carried a lorgnette and went by the name of Pussitwat Pwincess (or something similar)? Seems a bit out of character; but then Mouse talking about having worked in a strip featuring a cat-and-mouse team with one of them chucking bricks at the other might have given her ideas.<br />Thank you, my favourite provider of Sunday fun!<br />HunAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4432079904664551988.post-32313978799815848892014-06-01T08:06:35.882-06:002014-06-01T08:06:35.882-06:00Just want to give you a thumbs up so you know I am...Just want to give you a thumbs up so you know I am reading this every week, nothing else to say, really (which is why I didn't say it earlier!)<br /><br />Grew up with my dad's Pogo books, and Kelly's odd twists of phrase pepper my speech to this day. Learned to play all the songs in the song book. Glad to have this blog. Keep posting when you can!<br /><br />thanks,<br />-ericAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
