This is a critical appreciation of the life's work of one of the greatest cartoonists of the 20th century. Walt Kelly (1913-1973) is one of the most respected and innovative American cartoonists of the 20th century. His long-running Pogo newspaper strip has been cited by modern comics artists and scholars as one of the best ever. "We Go Pogo" is the first comprehensive study of Kelly's cartoon art and his larger career in the comics business. It examines all aspects of Kelly's career - from his high school drawings; his work on such animated Disney movies as Dumbo, Pinocchio, and Fantasia; to his 1930s editorial cartoons for Life, and the New York Herald Tribune. Soper taps Kelly's extensive personal and professional correspondence and interviews with family members, friends, and cartoonists to create a complex portrait of one of the art form's true geniuses.
