PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
POGO PEEK A BOOK BY WALK KELLY.
1955 VINTAGE PAPERBACK BOOK
COLLECTING CLASSIC POGO COMIC STRIPS.
PUBLISHED BY SIMON AND SCHUSTER.
COLLECTOR'S ITEM! Highly sought after.
The best collection of Pogo material ever put between a single set of covers. Walt Kelly was at the height of his powers and working outside the comic strip format, presenting stories told in graphic narrative, illustrated prose, and even poetry. The subjects range from Mother Goose (as portrayed by Albert the Alligator) to pulp detective novels (Albert playing the fleabitten private eye) to the Cold War space race (the main Pogo cast stepping up to skewer socialist rhetoric and discover what the Moon was really made of), with a side trip into the world of children and how they interact that rings truer than the whole of "expert opinion" on the matter. If you don't laugh throughout the gleeful nonsense of "The Bloody Drip Writhes Again", then you might want to take your funnybone in for a checkup!
RARE and OUT OF PRINT! Impossible to find!
This book is over half a century old!
