Pogo Possum #13

In "Photo Finished," the swamp’s latest experiment in order takes a whimsical turn when Howland declares the need for law and order—prompting Albert to leap at the chance to become sheriff. To test his mettle, Howland and Churchy stage a dramatic ruse, dressing as a villain and a damsel in distress, respectively, setting up a classic trial by chaos. Written, drawn, and inked by Walt Kelly, this 1953 Dell classic features the full creative hand of its legendary creator, with the cover by Kelly as well—every line a testament to his singular voice in comic history.
