Book review: The Pogo Sunday Book

Walt Kelly, 1956, The Pogo Sunday Book, Simon and Shuster. This book contains a series of stories that were published over a mess of Sundays. First, the Fountain of Youth is finally found, or is it? And who is rejuvenated to fry size? Next, the swamp gets a little education. But is Deacon Mushrat really qualified to run a school? Albert Alligator is appointed truant officer because he has so much experience with truancy. This is certainly going to end well!

Slipped into the middle is the tale of Goldilocks and the three bears, or two, or four, or even five. Who knows? Are all of these bears even alive, and how did the pelican blood get into the family? Oh, this book bears a read and a reread. Every Pogo book is silly, but this is one of the silliest, so if that's what floats your scow, you might start here.

On we go, through owl trouble, a Martian invasion, a good old fashioned food fight, and a lifelong duel to the death. I remember reading Pogo comics in the Sunday papers, and they never made any sense at all. Good though.

At the time of writing this review, you can get this book for about $12 including shipping.
