This review is from: Pogo a la sundae (The Best of Pogo)

This is a collection of typical Pogo comic Sunday strips from 1957, '58, '60, and '61. The artwork is the intricately detailed inking typical of that period of Walt Kelly's work, and the stories are mostly his usual Sunday-strip goofiness without the political messages common in his weekly strips. This collection does contain one of the few political Sunday sequences, six pages involving a Russian pig dressed as Santa Claus.

This volume was printed posthumously as one of at ten-volume "Best of Pogo" selected by David G. Hartwell with Selby Kelly's assistance. All of its contents appeared earlier in collections printed by Simon and Schuster each year of Walt Kelly's life. The quality of this printing appears to be moderately higher than the S&S originals. Hartwell's selections are enjoyable, so the casual reader cannot go wrong with this book; those intent on obtaining a complete collection of Pogo strips will find the Simon and Schuster books a better purchase.
