Pogo is the title and central
character of a long-running
daily American comic strip,
created by cartoonist
Walt Kelly (1913–1973)
and distributed by the
Post-Hall Syndicate.
Set in the Okefenokee Swamp
of the southeastern United States,
the strip often engaged in social
and political satire through
the adventures of its
anthropomorphic funny animal characters.
Pogo combined both sophisticated wit
and slapstick physical comedy
in a heady mix of allegory, Irish poetry,
literary whimsy, puns and wordplay,
lushly detailed artwork and
broad burlesque humor.
The same series of strips can
be enjoyed on different levels by both
young children and savvy adults.
The strip earned Kelly a Reuben Award in 1951.
