Beau Pogo

Walt Kelly’s Beau Pogo is a single-issue comic from 1960, published by Simon and Schuster, that spins off from his beloved Pogo strip. Written and drawn entirely by Kelly, it offers a standalone, whimsical adventure featuring the Okefenokee Swamp’s most gentlemanly alligator. Though brief, this comic stands as a charming, self-contained example of Kelly’s lyrical wordplay and expressive cartooning at its peak.
