This coming Saturday would have been the 94th birthday of Walt Kelly, one of the true greats of cartooning and the creator of Pogo Possum and his merry band of swampland goombahs. Would you like to know more about this extraordinary man? Well, this Friday, his extraordinary daughter Carolyn Kelly — also, a fine cartoonist — will be interviewed on Time Travel, a pop culture radio show hosted by Dan Hollis and Jeff O'Boyle and heard on WNRJ, 1510 AM on your dial in Hackettstown, New Jersey. Carolyn will be on the air live with them from 4 PM to 5 PM Eastern Time talking about her father and his work and her work and maybe even the forthcoming reprinting of The Complete Pogo from Fantagraphics Books.
Just on the slight chance that you are not within listening range of Hackettstown, you can hear the show over on the WNRJ website. And if you miss it there, all episodes of Time Travel are archived soon after on this page. There are many fine conversations there to be heard, including one with Yours Truly. But you can hear me all the time, especially on Stu Shostak's station. It will be a rare treat to hear Carolyn interviewed.
