Walt Kelly Bücher
Dieser amerikanische Animator und Cartoonist ist am besten für seinen klassischen Comic-Strip „Pogo“ bekannt. Sein Werk zeichnet sich durch einzigartigen Humor und Beobachtungen der menschlichen Natur durch Tierfiguren aus. Durch seine satirischen und doch sanften Geschichten bot er Einblicke in Gesellschaft und Politik und gewann damit gleichermaßen die Bewunderung von Lesern und Kritikern. Sein künstlerisches Erbe liegt in der meisterhaften Verbindung von Unterhaltung und tieferer Reflexion.
Collects the first 4 years of Walt Kelly's landmark comic strip including the dailies and, for the first time in color, the intial first three years of Sundays in a handsome slipcase edition. Meticulously retouched by Kellys daughter Carolyn and features historical essays by POGO historians Steve Thompson and R.C. Harvey and famous friends-of-Kelly Jimmy Breslin and Stan Freberg plus much more!
This first volume collects the initial two years of the renowned comic strip, showcasing Walt Kelly's early broad farce influenced by 1930s slapstick comedies. As the collection progresses, Kelly begins to explore political satire, marking an evolution in his storytelling.

In this volume, the Okefenokee gang decide to dig a canal to compete with the Suez (as soon as they can con one of their own into doing the digging) and consider going back to school. Among other hi-jinx, a flea comes a courtin' Beauregard the Dog.
