Pogo was one of the great cartoon strips of the mid 20th century, lampooning the foibles of our political class, among other things. The characters of the strip are unforgettable, set in the Okeefenokee swamp.

Vintage Pogo as the spookier animals plan to secede and form their own country, which requires a president (Pogo) and a first lady (many volunteers).

This one is good also...maybe my favorite of the batch (at Rutgers).
