Best Wishes from Pogo and Walt Kelly

Here is a framed and matted presentation drawing by Walt Kelly of his comic strip character Pogo. It is executed in pencil on a 3" x 5" card. It's also matted and framed, which is precisely what you should do with original Walt Kelly art.

Note:  The recent run of original Pogo comic art here at Attempted Bloggery will, like all good things, come to an end---eventually. In the meantime, you can catch up with it all here. Say, if you're one of those people who like to send in big, sharp scans of original Walt Kelly art that happens to be sitting around your home, please consider this humble blog as a recipient.

While we're on the subject, don't miss the Whirled of Kelly blog here. Walt Kelly, that is. Then there's the somewhat dormant Pogo in Pandemonia blog. Catch it here. Did you know the word pandemonium was coined by John Milton? You did? Never mind, then.

Today is September 11. What better time to review my old posts about the World Trade Center here?

What, you haven't heard? The football season has begun! Count on me to keep you up to date. My football posts are here.

Peppermint Patty

I was at first a bit surprised at the high hammer price achieved by this evidently quick marker sketch of Peppermint Patty, but  Schulz sketches of this large size are a rarity. While I don't love the rapid rendering of the feet and especially of the hand, it would be pointless to deny the huge overall appeal of this piece.

Martin Branner Artwork and Photos

A stash of original artwork by cartoonist Martin Branner turned up in a barn in Moravia, New York. 
How it got there is not clear. Branner is best remembered for the comic strip Winnie Winkle. Here is 
a closed eBay auction full of rare paper items, including ideas for gag cartoons and vintage photographs.
