typo - originally it was "we have met the enemy and he is gus", walt kelly had it in for gus grissom. the man was dead already - let it go walt!

pogo is my favourite comic in the world mostly because it hates the world. (plus funny fucking w. language.)

Pogo doesn't hate the world!

three weeks pass...

i'm kind of surprised that pogo was a no-show in the poll - am i right in thinking it's either dropped off the face of the earth (which it has, like most once-popular strips) or that it's something that's easier to respect than like (which is more or less how i feel about it)?

Yeah, that's how I feel about it too.

I'm on a major pogo kick lately.
This Chuck Jones/Walt Kelly cartoon special is killing me.

More that it exists than in quality. I'm not sure it translates well.

Same here.

fantagraphics is about to reprint the whole thing, so i'll give it another shot.

watching that special is weird. it feels like a loopy dream or something watching the familiar pogo characters looking and acting like chuck jones characters.

the voices are GREAT, though.
