Yep, this sort of disguised commentary kept Pogo on the comics page, not the editorial page . . . though I bet a few editors were slightly nervous (if they were even paying intellectual attention to the funnies).
My name is Thom Buchanan.
I'm an artist and photographer.
People are my favorite subjects to portray in art and photos. My wife (and studio partner) has called that my 'people skills', as I've been passionately creating portrait studies for many years.
I refer to myself as a pictorialist, a combination of image-making and journalist. Images are my life.
Pretty obviously a comment on race, back when legally mandated explicit segregation was still a big issue.
