American animator and cartoonist best known for the classic funny animal comic strip, Pogo. He won the National Cartoonists Society's Reuben Award in 1951 for Cartoonist of the Year, and their Silver T-Square Award in 1972, given to persons having "demonstrated outstanding dedication or service to the Society or the profession."
Reprint of the POGO comic books. It took me a while to appreciate Walt Kelly's genius, and it took him a while to become a genius. This early work is not there yet, but is very enjoyable indeed.
