Walt Kelly's Pogo: "If I Go to Mars..."

In the original artwork for this Pogo strip from 1966 by Walt Kelly, Peanie Brickle explains to Howland Owl that if he goes to Mars, he'll have to take flying lessons. Putting an owl and an elephant together in a daily comic strip naturally creates problems of scale, but the great pachyderm is certainly wonderfully drawn.
