Kelly, turned loose!

More Exquisite and Lush Than Usual

This 1966 period was truly a major high water mark in comic strip history. To have this kind of art delivered to my doorstep every day was exhilarating, and I've saved every one of the strips to this day.

Welcome to the Beginning

I have the hardest time getting on board this site to blog anything. But I think I'm on here again and I don't think I've posted this 1960s promotional booklet before. If I have, sorry, but I'm trying to get back on the Pogo train even as I keep getting derailed. These scans are by Mark Dillon that I distilled down to 4 per page.

I hope to see you again here, soonish.

Go Away, You Frighten Your Children!

 As noted by famed illustrator James Montgomery Flagg, "cartoonists make people see things!"

My favorite cartoonist, Walt Kelly, died over 40 years ago, yet he left us this Pogo story, as if in a time capsule to look at now, as a moral tale for our American society.
