This month's issue of Booklist will include review of a recent release by a Fantagraphics creator, excerpted below:
Pogo – The Complete Syndicated Comic Strips Volume 3: "Evidence to the Contrary"
by Walt Kelly
by Walt Kelly
"Despite its cast of anthropomorphic animals-the eponymous possum, Albert the Alligator, Porky Pine, and the rest-Pogo was the most adult-aimed of all newspaper comic strips. The fluid grace of Kelly's artwork and the inventiveness of his humor are matched by his verbal dexterity, from the characters' cornpone patois to their ingenious wordplay. Four decades after its demise, Pogo remains one of a handful of truly essential comic strips."
–Gordon Flagg
Pogo Vol. 3 was also recently on the New York Times Best Seller list, time to pick up one for you and yours!
