More people should read Pogo. Definitely.

Pogo is a strip that I appreciate, even if I don’t like it enough to collect the books.

I can see that. I just have a dear love for it.

There are quite a few strips that I feel are great examples of comic strip art that sadly I just can’t get into them. Calvin and Hobbes, Bloom County, Pogo…all worth seeking out and studying, especially if one is new to comic strips.

True. Sometimes something works for you, sometimes it doesn’t. (I have the advantage of reading all of those strips but Pogo when they were still in newspapers. Pogo I got out of the library in the old book collections.)

A lot of the vintage strips you almost need to be a history buff to get some of them, like the Donald Duck newspaper strips from the 1930s and 40s.

Maybe that’s why I love old strips too. Although some of them do get too esoteric for me; I have never gotten into The Gumps for example.
