You can order this now and you will receive it in a matter of days. The third volume of Walt Kelly's POGO: The Complete Daily & Sunday Strips is a reality. Copies have arrived from the printer and are shipping from Amazon and elsewhere.
I think Pogo is the best newspaper strip ever done and I am proud to be involved as Consulting Editor (basically, I consult with the editor) in the first-ever full, complete, chronological reprinting of that strip. What's more, I think Volume Three is where we get to the strips wherein Pogo got to be all that it could be…which is, like I said, the best strip ever. These are the strips in which we meet the infamous Simple J. Malarkey, a character who was basically Senator Joseph McCarthy rolled into one. When most of the press and the wheels of government were intimidated by McCarthy, a cartoonist was reducing him to a devastating animal caricature.
This is just plain brilliant stuff and don't just take my word for it. Ask anyone. And after you ask them, order a copy…and don't worry. After you fall in love with it, the first two volumes will still be in print and available. For a while.
