In "The Portrait," Pogo and Rackety Coon Chile stumble upon a mysterious sheet of music for "The Big Rock Candy Mountain" hidden in Albert's trunk, sparking an unlikely quest for fortune. With Seminole Sam’s dubious help, Albert sets off to find the legendary mountain—only to discover that the path to riches might be paved with more than just candy. Written, drawn, and inked by Walt Kelly, this 1952 Dell classic captures the whimsy and charm of the swamp with a cover by Kelly himself.
