Review of Outrageously Pogo

Walt Kelly, 1985, Outrageously Pogo, edited by Mrs Walt Kelly and Bill Crouch Jr. Reprints from The Okefenokee Star fanzine, Fireside Books and Simon & Schuster. This is the third book reprinting material from The Okefenokee Star.<br><br>

The book contains high school Kelly art, the dailies from 1951, excerpts from Kelly's illustrated life of PT Barnum, interviews with people who knew Kelly, public service cartoons, photos of Kelly, work for another comic strip that never happened, lots and lots of Sunday strips, a cover of a popular science publication, Christmas dailies that I think never appeared in any books that came out during Kelly's lifetime, and much more. In fact, there is so much in this big thick book that I wouldn't even try to summarize the rest. Of the three reprints from The Okefenokee Star, this might be the best.<br><br>
