All Gobbled About
Once again, I beg your indulgence of having Pogo strips that are barely art edited. As a kid, collecting these strips, I trimmed them way into Kelly's trademark hand-drawn borders and pasted them into a scrapbook. I just can't spare the time to make them digitally archival. But again, they are strips you won't see for a long time from Fantagraphics (if at all, it seems).

Us Potential Victims
Sorry I'm slowing down on posting here. For one thing, I really am close to exhausting my stash of Pogo Sundays that I clipped from the paper from 1963 through 1973. You've seen a LOT of Pogo Sundays between 3 of my blogs. A LOT. The other thing is that I'm in a very busy time of my art career, which is amazing, but it too is exhausting . . . ME!
So, I'm not giving up here, just slowing down and prepping non-Sunday Kelly material. So hang in there all you Kelly-holics. Good stuff is yet to come. Here, I'm going to start a little run of dailies from 1965 that way back then I pasted into a scrapbook album. I trimmed the edges too close and it's dingy newsprint, but still it's Kelly that you prolly haven't seen. This first one is from 51 years ago TODAY! I'll post the rest of the short run as I can, and we'll go from there.
Look at that $#!%-eatin' grin on Owl's face!

Make Mine with Cheese!
Boatloads of thanks to those of you who have spoken up to let me know that you are still out there and bolstering our motto/mission of 'Long Live Kelly!' You guys make it all worth while!

On to Johannesburg!
Three or four times over the past day I've tried posting this strip, but each time there were technical difficulties. I'm hoping this will make it through this time. So far, so good.
Today we learn Howland Owl's middle name.
Otherwise, the usual foolishments.

Near-Sighted Ol' Peepers
Here we get a glimpse of another of Kelly's cast of thousands —
Miz Squint. She's a sight for sore eyes.

The Game Goes On!
I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry! Last week I said I'd post up a bonus thing to make up for posting duplicate Sundays, but I just plain didn't have time. This post is also a duplicate, just to complete the arc we've been running. Then I just don't know how many more 'new' Sundays I have left. I'll have to check. But in the meantime I've got some nice dailies queuing up. Please bear with me.

Love that elephant in the 1st panel far background,
put in there for no particular reason.

Nossir! I Was the Hero! He Was the Ball!
Who else but Kelly would write those words for a comical strip?
No one before, no one since.
LLK!

Love at First Fright
Good morning!
The middle panel ("She's manly?") is the extra panel that wouldn't have been in the tabloid format. And dig that elefront in the first panel—no reason for it to be there at all, 'cept that this is Kelly's Whirled, and what a cheerful place it is.

Hup Hoop Ho Ha
I'm getting a bit confused at this point as to which strips have posted, and which are yet to post. This confusion is brought about because I've been posting now for several years, and my archives didn't transfer in an orderly way to my new computer. So, if I duplicate here and there from now on, forgive me, but I'll do my best.
Kelly seemed to love bringing baseball and football into the strip and here they overlap a bit.
Hey! Happy Sunday, Kelly Sunday!

Ugbert, Sam, Miguel, Otho, Waldo, Hilary, Herman
Good golly, 1952 was a good era for Pogo — the art superb, the dialogue spot on — and oh to see it all in color after all those years of loving it in black and white in the Simon & Schuster book. Thanks and ever thanks to DJ David B for sharing scans of this classic period—the golden age of Pogo, in my opinion.
And dig those menacing trees, in great fairy tale fashion.

Rowrbazzle to Freshen the Mind
Woosh, you don't know how close it came to not having a Sunday strip waiting for you on this Sunday morn. I've got a horrible deadline with multiple illustrations and cartoons that have to be done by Sunday evening and fired off to the client by internet express. But I couldn't leave you Pogo-holics in the lurch, so I sped through the scan and cleanup just so's you can have a happy Sunday, Kelly Sunday!

A Subversive Left-Handed Tide
Good morning world! Happy Sunday Kelly Sunday, Hun (that's not my honeybunch, it's our friend-in-Kelly in Germany).
Woosh, what I don't go through sometimes. This particular strip was in a bad way, with bad registration, ink smears from the printer plates being dirty, and excessive bleed from the other side because of too much ink penetration. The pressmen were really sloppy on this one. But it's no fun reading Pogo like that, so here ya go:

Six Hunderd Thousand Trillion
STILL we're in the same ongoing arc. Some mighty powerful science goin' on here. And I can't swear that's Waldo the fish in Miz Beaver's arm. Waldo used to talk up a mighty storm and this fish seems mighty mute. Perhaps Waldo expired by this point. Oh don't be sad about that. Fish just don't live long away from mighty moisture.

Run Like a Summerin' Finch
I have to post the Pogo Sunday strip tonight, Saturday nite, cuz I won't be available on Sunday morning. I know how some of you beat it over here on Sunday morns, and I would hate to disappoint anyone.
Besides the usual love of Kelly's art and his characters' shenanigans, I love how the Pogo logo is nestled in the middle of that summer grass. Not many cartoonists of that era took the time to do things like that.
Happy Sunday, Kelly Sunday!
