Pogo, Vol 5 by Walt Kelly - 1996

Fantagraphics Books, 1996. Pogo is the title and central character of a long-running daily American comic strip, created by cartoonist Walt Kelly (1913–1973) and distributed by the Post-Hall Syndicate. Set in the Okefenokee Swamp of the southeastern United States, the strip often engaged in social and political satire through the adventures of its anthropomorphic funny animal characters. Pogo combined both sophisticated wit and slapstick physical comedy in a heady mix of allegory, Irish poetry, literary whimsy, puns and wordplay, lushly detailed artwork and broad burlesque humor. The strip's content was intended for both children and adults. The strip earned Kelly a Reuben Award in 1951.. Reprint. Soft Cover. Fine. Illus. by b/w Cartoons.
