Phi Beta Pogo

A one-shot satirical comic from 1989, Phi Beta Pogo pits Walt Kelly's beloved possum and his Okefenokee Swamp menagerie against the absurdities of higher education and campus politics. Published by Simon and Schuster, this single issue extends the classic Pogo tradition of sharp, whimsical social commentary into the late 20th century. It stands as a late-career spotlight on Kelly's enduring wit and his ability to make even the swamp's most eccentric denizens feel like pointed, affectionate mirrors of the human condition.
