Walt Kelly's Pogo: The Noble Dog

Here is some fine original artwork by Walt Kelly from his imaginative daily comic strip Pogo. At first it seems we're on a political topic, but by the last panel Kelly is surely channeling Nicely-Nicely Johnson.

Walt Kelly's Pogo: Climbing the Wrong Mountain

In this original comic strip art for Walt Kelly's Pogo, Pogo Possum and Porky Pine are seen climbing a mountain, only it's the wrong one. It's a good thing they begin their descent right away.

Pogo's Unappreciated Humor

Walt Kelly's Pogo strip of August 6, 1955 starts out with a possibly serious complaint about laughing at the merely cute versus the truly humorous, then descends quickly into an atrocious pun and an old joke missing its punch line. Whatever Walt Kelly's theory of humor, I think it's a great strip, and I think it's aged rather nicely. It is my opinion that the eBay buyer did quite well here.
