Pogo Possum #3
In "Firehouse," Walt Kelly’s Pogo Possum #3 (1950) delivers another delightfully absurd chapter in the swamp’s misadventures. When Pogo convinces Albert to help dig sweet 'taters on the hottest day of the year, a bizarre chain of events leaves Churchy coated in honey and feathers—so much so that Pogo and Albert swear a blizzard is upon them. In a panic, Pogo dons his heaviest clothes and sets out for help, all drawn in Walt Kelly’s signature style. The cover by Kelly himself captures the chaos perfectly, a visual teaser for the day’s unexpected cold snap.
