Download or read book Pogo The Complete Daily Sunday Comic Strips Vol 1 written by Walt Kelly and published by Fantagraphics Books. This book was released on 2011-12-05 with total page 310 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Walt Kelly blended nonsense language, poetry, and political and social satire to make Pogo an essential contribution to American “intellectual” comics. As the strip progressed, it became a hilarious platform for Kelly’s scathing political views in which he skewered national bogeymen like J. Edgar Hoover, Joseph McCarthy, George Wallace, and Richard Nixon. Walt Kelly started when newspaper strips shied away from politics ― Pogo was ahead of its time and ahead of later strips (such as Doonesbury and The Boondocks) that tackled political issues. Our first (of 12) volume reprints approximately the first two years of Pogo ― dailies and (for the first time) full-color Sundays. This first volume also introduces such enduring supporting characters as Porkypine, Churchy LaFemme, Beauregard Bugleboy, Seminole Sam, Howland Owl, and many others. And for Christmas, 1949, Kelly started his tradition of regaling his readers with his infamously and gloriously mangled Christmas carols.

Download or read book I Go Pogo written by Walt Kelly and published by Courier Dover Publications. This book was released on 2019-12-18 with total page 195 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "A true natural genius of comic art." — Mort Walker, creator of Beetle Bailey Starting in 1948, Walt Kelly's newspaper-based comic strip Pogo lampooned sociopolitical issues from the Red Scare to the environmental movement. A gifted cartoonist who began his career at Walt Disney Studios, Kelly explored the virtues and follies of human nature with a lively cast of Okefenokee Swamp critters. Kind-hearted Pogo Possum headed the crew, which included intellectual Howland Owl; exuberant Albert Alligator; poetic mud turtle Churchy LaFemme; romantic hound dog Beauregard Bugleboy; and other impish personalities. Even readers too young to appreciate the strip's satirical elements were charmed by the eccentric creatures and their offbeat wordplay. This compilation features comics from the election year of 1952, during which Pogo's neighbors encouraged the reluctant possum to run for president. Their rallying cry, "I Go Pogo," parodied Dwight D. Eisenhower's "I Like Ike" slogan and provided real-life fans with a write-in candidate. Kelly's sly humor and flair for creative language—replete with malapropisms and nonsense verse — retain their imaginative verve for comics enthusiasts of the twenty-first century.

Download or read book Pogo The Complete Daily Sunday Comic Strips Vol 3 written by Walt Kelly and published by Fantagraphics Books. This book was released on 2014-11-11 with total page 370 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It's in this volume (featuring another two years worth of Pogo strips) that we meet one of Walt Kelly's boldest political caricatures. Folks across America had little trouble equating the insidious wildcat Simple J. Malarkey with the ascendant anti-Communist senator, Joseph McCarthy. The subject was sensitive enough that by the following year a Providence, Rhode Island newspaper threatened to drop the strip if Malarkey's face were to appear in it again. Kelly's response? He had Malarkey appear again but put a bag over the character's head for his next appearance. Ergo, his face did not appear. (Typical of Kelly's layers of verbal wit, the character Malarkey was hiding from was a Rhode Island Red hen, referencing both the source of his need to conceal Malarkey and the underlying political controversy.) The entirety of these sequences can be found in this book. But the Malarkey storyline is only a tiny portion of those rich, eventful two years, which include such classic sequences as con-man Seminole Sam's attempts to corner the market on water (which Porkypine's Uncle Baldwin tries to one-up by cornering the market on dirt); a return engagement of Pup Dog and Houndog's blank-eyed Little Orphan Annie parody Li'l Arf and Nonny; Churchy La Femme going in drag to deliver a love poem he wrote, Cyrano style, on Deacon Mush-rat's behalf to Sis Boombah (the aforementioned hen); P.T. Bridgeport's return to the swamp in search of new talent; and of course two rousing choruses of Deck Us All With Boston Charlie.

Download or read book The Girl and the Cat written by Paul L. Shriver and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2007-03 with total page 338 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This little Collection of Poems and Songs represents 50 years of the writer's work and "reflective style of living" from age 15 to 65, all but one previously unpublished. The partial product of a small-town childhood and a Midwest education during the post-war 40's, the politically apathetic but musically revolutionary Rock-n-Roll 50's, and the Socially Revolutionary 60's, with influences as diverse as Mother Goose, Ayn Rand, Buddy Holly, Robert Heinlein, A.A. Milne, Woody Guthrie, Robert Frost, Thoreau, Poe, Bob Dylan, Lewis Carroll, and Walt Kelly's "POGO", among others, known or not, this work covers a wide range of styles from "doggerel" to blank verse to lullabies, and a range of subjects and ideas from observations of nature and people to love-poems, homages, satirical parodies, and meditations on life and death and beyond. Herein you may find silliness and satire, grief and grievances, political commentary, or retrospectives of crossed paths with girls, animals, lakes and mountains, presidents, children, friends and strangers, even ants--not all of them, perhaps, what they first seem to appear, but all special and memorable enough to stand out, or as they do here, stand alone. By the author's own admission, "Certainly there have been ideas, moments, even people missed or forgotten along the way and no doubt much remains to be noted and commented on, but the places I go and the people I 'meet' just continue to 'sing' to me. Many "grab" me immediately, while some "sneak up on me" and surprise me later." Will Rogers was famous for saying, "I never met a man I didn't like!" For Paul, the "operative word" there is "MET": that is: "Discovered"--or came to know and understand--or "saw through" to the "Song" within. "That", he says, "Is how people "sing" to Me--every time I stop to listen--and to Care--as if each were truly unique and each one genuinely mattered!." Meanwhile, "the beat goes on" and the Music never stops. And so, He says, " I'll just keep listening and learning, and sharing --- and trying to "keep in tune" --- perhaps the best is yet to come! ---- One can Always Hope ! "
