DescriptionThis is probably the most important Pogo original in my collection…an early daily featuring P.T. Bridgeport from the 1952 presidential campaign. This is actually the very first time Kelly used one of his most famous phrases “I GO POGO”…First published May 14th 1952, this original was also featured (page 123) in Andrae/Laqua’s great book “Walt Kelly: The Life and Art of the Creator of Pogo” Wikipedia: Pogo was a reluctant "candidate" for President (although he never campaigned) in 1952 (and later years). The phrase "I Go Pogo", originally a parody of Dwight D. Eisenhower’s iconic campaign slogan "I Like Ike", appeared on giveaway promotional lapel pins featuring Pogo, and was also used by Kelly as a book title. A 1952 campaign rally at Harvard degenerated into chaos sufficient to be officially termed a riot, and police responded. The Pogo Riot was a significant event for the class of '52; for its 25th reunion, Pogo was the official mascot. Social/Sharing |
