One of my favorite comics is Pogo, by Walt Kelly. Pogo is the name of the main character: Pogo Possum. The series was originally printed in the 1940’s, and my copy was reprinted in 2003. The book that I just read is called Pogo 2, which is number two in a series. The main characters are Howlan Owl, an owl; Churchy Lafemme, a turtle; Albert, an alligator; and Pogo Possum, a possum. These characters have hilarious misunderstandings in the Okeefenokee swamp. I love that all the characters are animals and that they talk with backwoods dialect. You can find out more by checking out a book at yo’, I mean your, local library.
