The first volume of the second-most requested strip collection reprint in Fantagraphics' history.
Walt Kelly started his career at age 13 in Connecticut as a cartoonist and reporter for the Bridgeport Post. In 1935, he moved to Los Angeles and joined the Walt Disney Studio, where he worked on classic animated films, including Pinocchio, Dumbo, and Fantasia. Rather than take sides in a bitter labor strike, he moved back east in 1941 and began drawing comic books.It was during this time that Kelly created Pogo Possum. The character first appeared in Animal Comics as a secondary player in the “Albert the Alligator” feature. It didn’t take long until Pogo became the comic’s leading character. After WWII, Kelly became artistic director at the New York Star, where he turned Pogo into a daily strip. By late 1949, Pogo appeared in hundreds of newspapers. Until his death in 1973, Kelly produced a feature that has become widely cherished among casual readers and aficionados alike.
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.
Special features in this sumptuous premiere volume, which is produced with the full cooperation of Kelly’s heirs, include a biographical introduction by Kelly biographer Steve Thompson, an extensive section by comics historian R. C. Harvey explaining some of the more obscure current references of the time, a foreword by legendary columnist Jimmy Breslin, and more. 32 pages of full-color and 320 pages of black-and-white comics

Somewhat satisfied
Size: 38, Color: Light Khaki
I like them........ but don't love them. comfortable material but fit is a little off for me. Ordered these because of the length which was perfect....... until you sit down. They tend to hike up quite a bit which was the issue with even my no so long joggers. Figured these would solve that high-water-esque issue but they did not. They really ride up the legs when seated.

Look great on my preteen with just a little chub who wears 32 or 34" with 32" inseam
Size: 32, Color: Navy, Size: 32, Color: Navy
I got these in a 32" waist for my preteen son who is between 32 and 34 right now. He either has pants that are too tight or too loose and he feels like they're falling off all the time. These fit him perfectly. The length hits just right, the stretch in the waist is enough that they fit well without squeezing his pre-growth-spurt chub out in an unflattering way. They are comfortable enough he came out with a smile and asked if he could keep them on. That hasn't happened in a very long time. He loves the pockets. I'm really hoping that when he grows a few more inches they still look as good on him.
He did say they conduct the temperature a lot, so if you're wearing them outside on a cool day, you might need to layer a bit. They also do have a bit of a swish too them as they are the water repellant material, but it's a quiet swish rather than the 80s/90s rain wear swish too many of us remember too well. If you have a little chub and want to look sleek, these are a great option. I'm impressed with how flattering they are on his current build. He wears pants with a 32" inseam and these fit him just like it's shown in the ads, snug right around the ankle by the shoe. I haven't included pictures of him wearing them as there are already quite a few of those, but these do attract dog hair more than an average pair of jeans in the crotch and ankles. Why those spots, I have no idea. I just know that our cream colored Siberian husky is shedding a ridiculous amount right now and you can really see it on these pants, so be prepared to get some sort of lint roller/remover for these.
As a side note, it also had the appearance of pilling in some of the pictures I took, but I couldn't see or feel anything there, so I'll be watching to see if there is randomly the same dust all over the pants or if pilling starts to happen. Also, he knows chub or no chub he's amazing and handsome and I'm proud he's mine, so it's not me being a harsh mama, just an honest mama in this review.
