5.0 out of 5 stars This book is in excellent shape!

Bought this to replace my husband's worn-out paperback copy. He loves it! Of special delight are the endpapers, which don't appear in the paperback. Shipping was quick and the book was well packaged. I recommend the seller--and the book!

5.0 out of 5 stars How would Walt Kelly portray Trump?
Reviewed in the United States on January 24, 2019
Verified Purchase
Exactly what I wanted. My old paperback was falling apart because I had loaned it to all my friends who needed to learn about Pogo and Walt Kelly. This is a great collection of the early “red scare” comics by Walt Kelly. He was so good that dozens and dozens of southern papers dropped his strip because they were afraid of retaliation from Joseph McCarthy and his ilk. Now I have a “new” hardback copy that I can loan to young people who don’t understand how Trump came to power. He’s just another demagogue using fear to win over the know-nothing’s just like Walt Kelly showed us McCarthy was doing in the fifties.

5.0 out of 5 stars An Ever-Lovin', Blue-Eyed piece of work.
Reviewed in the United States on July 19, 2011
Verified Purchase
I was familiar with this work before I ordered it. The copy I received was in pretty good shape. That is no longer the case, as I have read it to pieces.
As a writer, of sorts, myself, I have always been influenced by Mr. Kelly's work. I had read two or three copies of this particular piece until I had reduced them to separate pages already, and, as I had lost track of these over the years, I was delighted to find another.
I hope they have another copy, because I'd like to get one to collect, (i.e. not read), as well as the follow up manuscript, and the comprehensive day to day project research suggests is in the works.
BUY THIS BOOK! But, please... wait until I have another copy.

5.0 out of 5 stars For Lovers of Comics, Possums, and Humanity
Reviewed in the United States on October 14, 2014
Verified Purchase
This is a must-read for lovers of comics in general, but also for anyone who is interested in the history of post-WWII America. Pogo the Possum and his animal friends live in the Okeefenokee Swamp, dispensing wit, charm, and political commentary. It's basically a darn good comic strip, with something for readers of all levels (from kids to adults). Creator Walt Kelly's beautiful artwork and masterful wordplay make the strip a real gem.

Contains the best Pogo comics from 1948-1959, as well as a commentary by Walt Kelly. One of the best Pogo books ever made.

This is the second vintage Pogo book I purchased off of Amazon.com. I'm very happy with it. It was a Christmas gift for my boyfriend. He has always loved Pogo but didn't have any books in his collection. The book arrived very quickly and in excellent condition. I'd recommend this seller to anyone!

Reviewed in the United States on January 5, 2011

Walt Kelly was a very funny and thoughtful cartoonist - you can laugh out loud and also be struck by the deeper aspect of his humor. It is the kind of humor that you want to share with others. His books are so hard to find - I intend to add to my collection and share with my family. This book is a wide ranging and therefore excellent introduction to his work.

5.0 out of 5 stars Pogo is the Greatest
Reviewed in the United States on November 2, 2013
Verified Purchase
Pogo has always been my favorite comic strip. This collection is full of classic Pogo. Albert the Alligator and Porky Pine are my favorite characters, but I loved Pogo's sister and her husband and kids, along with Ms. Mamselle Hepzibah, Deacon Mushrat, Churchy, and many other characters. I'd recommend this book to any Pogo fans and also to people who have never heard of Pogo.
