The Billy Ireland Cartoon Museum and Library has a gallery show: "Into the Swamp: The Social and Political Satire of Walt Kelly's Pogo." In the video below, exhibit curators Jenny Robb and Lucy Shelton Caswell, give us a tour of the gallery show, which will end on October 31, 2021.
"Caswell and Robb explore Kelly's career,
his influences and his legacy, as well as his take on the many political
issues of the world in which he lived: the Red Scare, the Cold War, the
environment, presidential elections and more. Along the way, viewers
will see a broad selection of Kelly’s artwork and will hear from special
guests Jake Tapper, Lynn Johnston, Ben Sargent, Jeff Smith, Garry
Trudeau, Jan Eliot, and Bill Watterson on their favorite aspects of
Pogo, as well as how the strip influenced them."
Hi Mike! Thank you so much for sharing this virtual tour of the exhibition. I'm a long time Pogo fan and it's always a treat to see Pogo on your blog. Again, thanks!
