I find the Pogo that I've read (late 40's-51) addicting and endearing with his version of the bona-fide method that made Shakespeare so famous. If you want the interest of the entire intellectuals <('v')> mouth-breather gamut you have to lace allusions to things smart people will pat themselves on the back for noticing within as much of the "simple" humor spectrum as you can cover. The latter SHOULD be savored by us ALL for the sake of serenity within our souls.
He was adept at presenting characters who can display abject stupidity and prescient intuition (usually unknowingly) at any point- the greatest asset of the classic stripper.
I could go on specifically but I'll simply implore you to trust that you'll enjoy it one way or the other. Maybe despite yourself. No- I didn't give it ***** but that seems to me to be unattainable due to the intrinsic storytelling drawbacks set against those who tile daily strips.
Applies to books 2+5+6 (but probably all 11):
Intro-readers= R.C. Harvey is presented as a gas-bag by an editor that seems to have given him carte-blanche whether from debt or respect. Nine pages is intolerable for most of us- even if it's for a legendary title like "Watchmen". He manages them poorly so I went piecemeal throughout each of the three volumes without digesting any entirely. You don't need any of it but if you want to start with his main point take in a page or two then the rest in my fashion at the end of the action=
A.) Pick any parentheses (with date(s) inside) and read directly above or below to see what he mentions in brief and if the subject or allusion interests you flip to the date(s) and re-read them with the advantage of that info-nugget to get the pleasure of relevant understanding.
1.) If that whet your whistle go back and read him fart it out at length. He's wise but his nostalgio-wordiness is to-taste.
B.) Do it again until you don't want to anymore.
