Description: Pogo by Walt Kelly, Under the Bamboozle Bush. Fantagraphics Books, 2017, Hardcover First Edition Book in Dust Jacket. ISBN 9781606998632. The late, lamented Walt Kelly was not only a great cartoonist but also a master satirist very much ahead of this time, particularly in the notion that something in the “funny pages” could make references to something on the fronts pages. The strip Pogo in the book Under the Bamboozle Bush ran from 1955-1956, not the best time for domestic tranquility in the USA, but a splendid time to be a commentator on what was happening in and around Washington, D.C. These days, they talk of “draining the swamp,” but Kelly dragged Washington through the swamp. Peerless and fearless, he often had more to say than any editorial page elsewhere. For example, his character “Malarkey” was inspired by Senator Joseph McCarthy. Facsimile edition included a guide to Southern dialect and “swamp talk.” Color cartoons for the Sunday newspapers, with black and white for daily cartoons. Heavy book with heavyweight slick paper will require extra postage.
