One of the most popular comic strips of the 1950s and the first to
reference politics of the day, Walt Kelly's Pogo took on Joe
McCarthy before the controversial senator was a blip on Edward R.
Murrow's radar. The strip's satire was so biting, it was often
relegated to newspaper editorial sections at a time when artists in
other media were blacklisted for far less. Pogo was the vanguard of
today's political comic strips, such as Doonesbury and Pearls
Before Swine, and a precursor of the modern political parody of
late night television. This comprehensive biography of Kelly
reveals the life of a conflicted man and unravels the symbolism and
wordplay of his art for modern readers.
