Sunday, Kelly Sunday

Forty-five years ago today this Sunday strip ran in that old fashioned thing we called a newspaper. Yes kids, it was printed on paper and a whole parcel of em was dropped right on our front porch--EVERY DAY! And there were great comics in em and Pogo was just about the best of em. 

(I just checked this post and the date shows Saturday, but only because of daylight savings, and I'm not gonna stay up till 1:00 am just to be chronologically correct) (besides I'm leaving today for a week in the land of enchantment, so this'll probably be my last post for a week, unless I can find a cyber cafe in the desert).

Back cover of Pogo #7 I think (I already put it away and I'm lazy enough to guess)

Kelly's art was always an extravaganza

And his swamps were always someplace you'd want to explore
