The Pogo Papers

The first romantic entanglements with Pogo and Mam'selle Hepzibah. Introduces Porky's Uncle Baldwin, and one of the memorable quotes from "Pogo": "Eventually ever' man gotta face the problem of tryin' to figger if it's worthwhile to prove that he is himself." The first singing of "Deck Us All With Boston Charlie" is here. Introduces Mole MacCarony and Simple J. Malarkey in another indictment of McCarthyism that people forget how brave it was at the time. One of the most powerful "Pogo" sequences is here, and also another "World Series". At this time Kelly was producing some of the best comic strip writing and art ever produced. ( )
