300 black-and-white and 44 color comic strips.

    Who can forget Howland Owl, Porky Pine, Albert the Alligator, Churchy La Femme the Turtle, and of course, Pogo Possum? Take a delightful inside look at one of the funniest, most popular and literate comic strips of all time. The Best of Pogo features Walt Kelly's landmark cartoons in a marvelous scrapbook of anecdotes and behind-the-scenes stories. From Kelly's earliest cartoon creations to his legendary stories in pictures and words syndicated across the country, it's a warm and witty tribute to the man and his magical menagerie of lovable swamp 'critters.' You get the whole wonderful story, including Rare pre-syndicated Pogo comics; The immortal Whirled Series of Baseball; All the lyrics to 'Deck Us All with Boston Charlie'; And Pogo's real-life presidential campaigns, with first-hand reports on the wild victory parties that followed. Plus, a special feature: 'MAD goes Pogo,' a reprint of Pogo Possum parodies from MAD magazine. All this and much more, as you relive the life and times of the Okefenokee Swamp -- its timeless humor, its mischief, satire and political controversy."
