Summary: Read this book and smile a lot...
Comment: The excellent series of Pogo reprints continues - demonstrating that comic strips could be more than just a daily chuckle. In many ways, Walt Kelly's inhabitants of the Okefenokee Swamp were the Simpsons of their day - an ever increasing cast of characters whose environment was a microcosm of America and whose antics and adventures both mirrored and satirized contemporary fads, culture, and most importantly, politics. At the opposite end of the political spectrum from Al Capp's Li'l Abner, Pogo was both more gentle and more subtle. And while the books offer a helpful introduction to set the strip in the context of its current events, much of Pogo can be enjoyed on levels that have nothing to do with politics.
I grew up reading Pogo every day in my local newspaper and these books are a fantastic reminder of just how good Pogo was. Or is. If nothing else, I am grateful to the publishers for giving me the opportunity to introduce my English wife to two old friends - the Laurel and Hardy of comic strips - Albert the Alligator and Churchy La Femme. As for Pogo himself...well, he's "jes fine".

Rating: 4
Summary: More hilarity
Comment: I'm considerably younger than Pogo, I don't recall ever seeing this strip in the paper and what a shame that is!
Young and old alike can laugh at this stuff. The political commentary never distracts from the fact that comic strips are supposed to be funny. It's hard to explain all the things that go on in ONE strip. Characters in the background are as much fun as the main story. So many good things to say about Pogo!
