Walt Kelly, however, has mastered the art." And, "Walt Kelly's Pogo is one of the richest gifts to the comic-strip medium." That's rich.Prashant C.

Though the first volume shows Kelly still finding his feet with the strip (I remember the collected versions, tweaked slightly, of these early strips in the POGO books being a bit sharper and more in keeping with the characters as they were later developed).Todd Masonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01815516018079824802noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8525415828746712027.post-67814669890109566402011-11-22T07:20:35.608-05:002011-11-22T07:20:35.608-05:00Hey Todd, thanks very much for including two of my...Hey Todd, thanks very much for including two of my posts here. This is a welcome first for me and I can see that I'm in good company.<br /><br />By the way, I found where I saw POGO — in THE PENGUIN BOOK OF COMICS by George Perry and Alan Aldridge, a part of my collection for long. Perry and Aldridge speak highly of Walt Kelly and his work. And to think I nearly missed it...Prashant C.
