(W/A/CA) Walt Kelly Collects the years 1963 and 1964 of the classic newspaper strip whose political satire feels more timely than ever. Using the platform of Pogo, Walt Kelly tackled many of the sociopolitical issues of his day: the Red Scare, civil rights, the environment, consumerism. But the strip is also a joyous, poignant, beautifully drawn, and occasionally profound work of 20th-century popular culture. Each volume contains two full years of restored black-and-white daily strips plus all 104 Sundays from the same period. For the first time since their original appearance more than 50 years ago, the Sundays are in full, glorious color.

This volume includes a pig with an ominous resemblance to Nikita Khrushchev and a scruffy goat who looks exactly like Fidel Castro. Both assure Okefenokeeans that a one-party system is the way to go; all will be well economically, they explain, because 'the shortage will be divided amongst the peasants.' Other storylines spotlight Kelly's remarkable cast: Pogo Possum, Albert Alligator, Howland Owl, 'Churchy' LaFemme, Beauregard Bugleboy, Porky Pine, Miz Ma'm'selle Hepzibah, Deacon Mushrat, and so many others. All 104 Sunday strips from those two years are included, with supplementary features (including comprehensive annotations and index) by comics historians R.C. Harvey, Maggie Thompson, and Mark Evanier.
