 Oh, and speaking of voting, Deacon Mushrat brings in the bobcat Simple J. Malarkey to clean the swamp of subversive elements.  Could Kelly have been satirizing someone?

    Ha ha! I wish I could get my hands on some of those fonts! The art's quite different, but the presentation reminds me a lot of John Held Jr's Gay 90s illustrations.

      John Held was big enough that I knew who he was in grade school, I am not a fan but his art does stand out.

    Sure looks hand drawn to me. In one article he told his editor his elaborate lettering was hell to draw. Keep the fonts, I want the original art!

      Original daily Pogo strips sell for around $100 on eBay; Sundays a little over $300.

    Tammany Tiger looks like he's had enough P.T. for one day -- and I don't mean Physical Therapy.

      When Pogo was running I had trouble reading it, I had no idea usually what Kelly was talking about, what with all the political topics. Now that I am looking closer at it I am just wowed by the artwork. The Disney training sure shows but that ain't no bad thing. His critters are very cute, even Simple J. Malarkey, the hyena that is Joseph McCarthy is fun to look at. When the editors of many papers objected to the politics and wanted to run Pogo on the editorial pages, Walt put a sack over Malarkey's head that looked very like a Klan outfit, worked just as well since everyone knew who he was supposed to be. His bulldog J. Edgar is a riot. I would like to find out more about Tamananny, P. T. Bridgeport is the character I remember from reading the strip because of the lettering.

      Kelly was born in Philadelphia, but moved to Bridgeport, Conn. later on and attended Warren Harding High School there along with a young fellow named Al "Lil' Abner" Capp. In Kelly's early days as a cartoonist, he illustrated the life of P. T. Barnum.

Abandoned Cat (Sute-Neko Tora Chan)

Abandoned Cat Little Tora, 1947. A family finds an abandoned kitten and takes it in.  But one of the children is jealous of the attention shown to the newcomer and runs away.  In 1947 war orphans were everywhere in Japan. Directed by Kenzo Masaoka.   https://youtu.be/d_nN0_DZPHw       A dream of domestic bliss.   https://youtu.be/-6toCCKMBqo   This ends with the family all together as one on a Christmas, decorated tree and everything.   https://youtu.be/cF4qS1iQ-Gs       What is conspicuous is the lack of a father.  I guess at this time so many Japanese families had their fathers and sons gone that this cartoon designed to comfort and to empathize with those bereft.  In that regard this is a very sad movie, very well made. Life is far too marvelous to be squandered in war. https://misterscribbles.blogspot.com/

Kamaitachi

Japanese whirlwind demon.  I could not find the name of the artist but I am guessing that the red kanji is a signature.  These invisible demons employ their sickle claws to do their thing.  Pretty malevolent, if you ask me.   If anybody has invisible flying bloodthirsty slasher weasels it would be the Japanese.  This vicious fellow is by Xatchett off DeviantArt.   https://www.deviantart.com/xatchett   These yokai ride dustdevils and whirlwinds and slash up the unwary, while drawing no blood.  In the 1890's there was a rash of these attacks. Some anime.   https://youtu.be/sxC-g5sCWXk The whirlwind thing seems to be a big part of all this. Kamaitachi, by Eikoh Hosea, 1969. And another.   This is the photographer who took the dynamic black and white pictures of Yukio Mishima I had posted in an earlier essay.   The model in this series, Kamaitachi, is a famous avant-garde dancer, Tatsumi H
