Some would tell you that Walt Kelly’s Pogo was the cleverest, most wonderful newspaper strip of all time. It was certainly up there with them. It’s now being reprinted in full for the first time in a series of lovely hardcover volumes from Fantagraphics Books and Volume 8 (of 12) is on the presses now. Hear all about Kelly’s work from Pogo authority Maggie Thompson, Walt Kelly archivist Jane Plunkett, cartoonist (and creator of Bone) Jeff Smith, Fantagraphics editor Eric Reynolds, his co-editor and your moderator Mark Evanier . . . and legendary cartoonist Willie Ito, who actually assisted on the Pogo strip in its final years.
Panel (left to right): Eric Reynolds, Mark Evanier (moderator), Maggie Thompson, Jeff Smith, and Jane Plunkett.
Note: Willie Ito did not attend the panel.
The audience included Bob Ingersoll.
