Mighty Fine

Just a reminder for those who don't always check in on the Ever-Lovin' Blue-Eyed Whirled of Kelly that there's some mighty fine artwork and story-telling going on over there.

See What Happens

Happy Friday the Thirteen. See how Churchy handles it over at Whirled of Kelly.

Kelly Day Every Day

I know there are a lot of you who admire Walt Kelly and his work, but we don't seem to be finding you over at the new 'blog about Kelly art, where it's Kelly day every day. If'n we don't see more followers showing up, it may not be worth the time (which it takes a lot of) to be gathering up rare and lovely Kelly stuff. Please come over and 'follow' or comment or something to let us know you're out there. You can begin by clicking here.

Bad news, good news time.

Bad news is that this is the last regular Pogo Sunday strip to be posted on this 'blog.

Good news is that that you'll be getting lots more Pogo Sunday strips over on a new 'blog dedicated to Uncle Walt and his work, starting in 2 weeks.

The Pogo Sundays on this 'blog have been running with the conceit of "Sunday, Kelly Sunday", displaying strips of 45 years ago today, since this year shares the same dates as 1964. Well, hey, who's going to miss that when you can see Kelly alla time? Stay tooned for more info.

In the meantime, ONE-LAST-TIME, it's Sunday, Kelly Sunday—from 45 years ago today:

Bird Thou Never Wert, Bert

Yes, no, I did not forget. Here is the Pogo Sunday strip that posted, I mean printed, 45 years ago 2day. Cuz this is Sunday. Kelly Sunday. Dude.

Just a reminder that a brand new 'blog dedicated to Walt Kelly will be premiering soon at a monitor near you. When that happens, you will hear of it right here, on this stage, a really big shew (Ed Sullivan was really big 45 years ago 2day 2. Youngsters, go google him).

See how nice it is when not every panel background is yellow?

Gonna Toot Li'l' Morvin

Another week has flown by, being Sunday, Kelly Sunday again. It almost wasn't, as my super duper computer of the last 5 years bit the dust with horrible optical/visual impairments, just like that, over night. Fortunately I was able to get an even more super duper replacement, but the reinstallation and transfer issues were a bit rough. But I made it in time to get this Pogo strip from 45 years ago today posted for your Kelly habit.

There will be no new posts for a couple of days, but I'll be back with some cool stuff midweekish. Ta.

This is a drawing I made of Kelly while sitting with a library reference file that I couldn't check out. It's from a portrait of him from the early 60s.
