The POGO Principal

Ten Ever-Lovin' Blue Eyed Years With Pogo
I owned an edition of this magical book when first it appeared. I took it for granted that POGO would be around forever. Of course, as with all fine art, Kelly's view is as fresh, funny and inspiring as ever. It is a time machine that delivers one to the here and now. Kelly expressed more with a line (either drawn or written) than can be found in a stack of Sunday "Funnies". This wonderland was not created in a simpler time. Our amusements were not, however, so immediate or flashy. Superficiality was just finding its groove and the citizenry was learning to become consumers. POGO is a whole bunch of things all at once but quaint aint one of em'.

The POGO Principal is simply this: No matter how wacky the situation is that you presently find yourself in, it is just the latest version of the same ol' thing. I take myself too seriously and things begin to unwind in a hurry. Cookies and milk with my friends is always the antidote.

Kelly's genius shines through POGO and his world to reflect that there is indeed no greater wisdom than kindness. Oh yea, some of the bits and dialogue are close-the-book-on-your-finger-to-enjoy-the-moment hilarious. There is nothing on the scene today that comes close.
