Catching for the Fry Sure Wearies a Man

Well, this is the end of the current arc. The Sunday strip after this one is the first of the Pandemonia saga that I've posted long ago over at Pogo in Pandemonia.

From here I need to think out where to go. I've still got lots of Pogo and other great Kelly stuff, but I'm seeing other scans of some of it showing up here and there on the internet. I feel that my scans are lovingly prepared, at a decent resolution, compared to some others I've seen. I'd like to continue on with some really great arcs, but once again I need to hear if there's any encouragement for that. My stat counter shows lots and lots of visitors, but I get so few encouraging comments (Hi charlie, and thanks!) that I feel like maybe the bottom has dropped out of the Kelly market.

Please let me know if you are enjoying the Sunday strips, or I may feel that my time should be spent elsewhere. Lovingly prepared scans are very time consuming, as many of you know.

I'll soon be posting a rare and interesting piece of Kelly history, courtesy of our friend OtherEric of the Digital Comic Museum. No, not Peter Wheat this time, but another rarity. OtherEric sent it over quite a while ago and has been patient, waiting for me to prepare it. You'll see it hopefully some time next week.

In the meantime, Happy Sunday, Kelly Sunday with this slightly post-Christmas strip from 45 years ago today:


Peace on Earth

Well, the best laid plans, huh? I was going to post this lyrical looking daily on Christmas day, but I couldn't find it until just now, day after Christmas. You don't mind if'n I post it now, do you? I don't want to wait another 364 days. I'd prolly REALly lose it by then.

Alright then.

"Tell Us a Story," Cried Saucy Susie

There is lots of Walt Kelly Christmas stuff floating around the internet, which is great. Here's a bit more, bless Kelly's soul.









The Odds an' Ends of the Bygone

Wow, Kelly punts a political punchline for Christmas eve of '61!

Eleflamp Removal

This may be where Humbert gets his Peanie Brickle nickname, in some Kellyesque way.
