Walt Kelly's Our Gang #4
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeThis fourth volume in Fantagraphics' series collecting Walt Kelly's Our Gang reprints more of the artist's early comic strip work featuring the mischievous kids, showcasing Kelly's developing style and humor before his iconic Pogo fame. It continues the chronological restoration of these rare, pre-Pogo strips from the 1940s, offering a glimpse into the foundations of his celebrated cartooning career.
In "The Radioactivity Teleportation Project," Walt Kelly’s signature whimsy meets wacky science as Ace and Lucky stumble into a bizarre caper aboard Bruiser Connor’s showboat—intending to steal a prize horse, they accidentally snatch a mysterious pantomime horse that holds Red and Froggie in its hollow frame. With Kelly handling every aspect of the art and lettering, and Jeff Smith’s delightfully quirky cover adding to the charm, this 2010 Fantagraphics gem blends slapstick mischief with surreal twists in a story that’s as playful as it is unpredictable.
When a prized horse appears on Bruiser Connor’s showboat, Ace and Lucky see their chance to steal it for Doctor Bullard and Jake—but their plan takes a wild turn when they accidentally abduct a pantomime horse that’s actually hiding Red and Froggie inside.
When the championship baseball game between the Gang and the Gas House Gang looms, Charles Feeney hatches a scheme to keep Froggie out of the game—just as Squint Frobisher and his little brother Jerry try to help their friend stay in the lineup. With Froggie’s mother and Miss Toople watching closely, the boys must think fast to keep the game fair and Froggie in the pitcher’s box.
