Impollutable Pogo #[nn]

In "Chapter 3 - Four Bats and a Ball," Howland and a quartet of anthropomorphic bats debate the state of the atmosphere, their conversation drifting from air quality to the wild idea of launching a séance-themed TV show—aimed at championing the radical concept of not breathing at all.

In "Chapter 5 - A Head in a Hole and Vice Versa," Howland and the bats nervously pass by the cemetery, spooked by eerie voices whispering from behind tombstones—voices that belong to the Deacon and Sarcophagus, lurking in the shadows. As the tension hums beneath the moonlit stones, Churchy and Howland trade uneasy thoughts about the strange seance television show they’ve been asked to host.

In this 1972 installment of *Impollutable Pogo*, the unlikely courtroom crew of Deacon, the Hyena, Mole, and Sarcophagus gather to debate the fate of Howland and Churchy, whose trial hangs in the balance. With Sarcophagus bluntly asking if the defendants can afford a million-dollar bail, the tension crackles through the absurdity of the proceedings.

In this quirky 1972 installment from *Impollutable Pogo*, one of the three bats gets unexpectedly tangled in a telephonic mishap during a seance TV demo—accidentally linking up with Cleopatra via an ectoplasmic phone. The absurdity unfolds in five pages of zany, anthropomorphic chaos, where the line between spirit world and sitcom gets delightfully blurred.

In "Chapter 20 - A Clearing in a Jugular Vein," Deacon, Mole, and Hyena find themselves tangled in a web of legal jargon while trying to pin charges on Howland and Churchy—until a pistol with a hair-trigger pulls their attention away from the courtroom drama. The absurdity of the moment hangs in the air, as the weight of procedure collides with sudden, unexpected tension.

In "Chapter 21 - The Wild Blown Yonder," Albert rallies the gang for a séance broadcast at Sarcophagus’ home, but Pogo and Porky arrive first—only to be thrown into a trial by the Hyena and Howland. When the others show up, they’re quickly ensnared in the same trap, finding themselves locked in a jail cell with no way out.

In "Chapter 22 - All's Well That Ends," Deacon and Mole find themselves locked in a jail cell with other captives after being accused of treason by the Hyena. With clever teamwork and a rope tied to Deacon’s tail, the group plots a daring escape as the Hyena vanishes, seeking unquestioning followers elsewhere.
