Gone Pogo

Walt Kelly’s Gone Pogo is a single, self-contained 1961 comic from Simon and Schuster, collecting the beloved Pogo newspaper strips into a book-length adventure. Written and drawn entirely by Kelly, it captures the swamp’s gentle satire and whimsical wordplay at its peak. Though a one-shot, it stands as a classic example of how Kelly’s anthropomorphic animals—led by the philosophical possum Pogo—tackled politics and human folly with timeless charm.
