Pogo for President

In 1964, Walt Kelly’s beloved swamp critters from the long-running Pogo newspaper strip took a satirical plunge into presidential politics with this single-issue comic book from Crest Books. Featuring the folksy, pun-loving possum Pogo and his menagerie of friends, the story lampooned the absurdities of election campaigns with Kelly’s signature blend of gentle humor and pointed social commentary. This slim, standalone volume remains a charming artifact of mid-century political satire, showcasing Kelly’s masterful cartooning and wordplay at their most timely.
