Pogo

Latest Volume: Pogo Volume 11The award-winning reprint series of Walt Kelly's landmark newspaper strip Pogo - widely considered one of the three most important newspaper strips in the medium's history - winds its way into the most fertile and fantastically-drawn period in the strip's existence. In POGO Volume 11, we finish up 1953 (August) and head into 1954 (January) in the prime years of Walt Kelly's cartooning life. Classic comedy sequences include the hijinks at Ma'm'selle Hepzibah's big soirée, a run of baseball strips to coincide with the World Series, an incredibly pointed satire of academia and college football, an attempt by Sis Boombah to take over coaching duties, and another patented Pogo Christmas. Also, find out the answer to the question, "Why do you hate the poor parsnip so?" The Comics Journal says this is the THIRD best comic work of the 20th Century - find out why!
