Walt Kelly's Pogo #4

In this playful twist on a classic, Albert Alligator spins a whimsical tale for Pogo Possum and the three bug children, reimagining "Cinderella" with the whole Pogo gang in on the fun—Pogo as the kind-hearted Cinderola, the three bears as her gruff stepfamily, Churchy Lafemme as the King’s page, Howland Owl as her magical godmother, and Albert himself as the prince. With Pogo’s signature charm and a cast of beloved animal friends, it’s a storybook adventure where laughter and lighthearted mischief take center stage.

When Rackety Coon Chile and Pogo stumble upon sheet music for "The Big Rock Candy Mountain" in Albert Alligator’s trunk, Albert becomes convinced the legendary candy mountain is real—and that it’s his ticket to riches. With Seminole Sam’s dubious help, Albert sets off on a quest, only to be sold a pile of garbage he’s told is rock candy in disguise.

In "Pig Game," Pogo Possum, Albert Alligator, Howland Owl, and Churchy Lafemme take a playful spin on the classic three pigs tale—only this time, the animals’ antics turn the story on its head. Churchy sets fire to his straw house in a burst of theatrical flair, Howland insists on a house of sticks (with questionable construction), and Albert ends up in a full-blown showdown with a single board, leaving his brick house in jeopardy.

In this whimsical twist on classic tales, Pogo Possum stumbles into a tangled web of nursery rhyme chaos, where a dog and a mouse find themselves caught in a tale that’s part fairy tale, part musical mystery. With familiar rhymes echoing through the swamp, the trio must navigate a surreal journey where stories don’t end as expected—only one thing’s certain: nothing in the swamp is quite as it seems.

In this playful twist on "Little Red Riding Hood," Pogo and Albert Alligator take center stage in a whimsical retelling where Pogo dons the role of Riding Hood, Albert plays the wolf, and Beauregard Bugleboy steps in as the helpful guide—while a ladybug adds her own charm as Riding Hood’s mother. With familiar faces in familiar roles, the story blends classic tale energy with the signature humor of Walt Kelly’s Pogo universe.
