Walt Kelly lives!
Actually, my all-time favorite cartoonist passed away a number years ago. But before he did, he left the world decades of Pogo, a wonderful melange of politics, satire, buffoonery, and a wary eye on but kindly disposition toward the human race. Pogo ruled the newspaper comic pages in the 50s and 60s and was of course published in book form, as well. Beloved Partner and I got together because of our shared enthusiasm for Pogo, and we sent Mrs. Kelly a wedding invitation when we got hitched. And anytime either one of us encounters a fellow Pogo devotée, it's a smile. Guest blogging on Eschaton, Robert Jeffers even demonstrates in the Comments thread that he has a pretty good memory for the lyrics to "Deck Us All with Boston Charlie."
