Description
Hot take: one of the best values in original comic art may be hiding in plain sight.
Every time a Pogo daily or Sunday by Walt Kelly hits auction, I’m surprised by how reasonable the hammer price is.
Honestly, shocked.
Kelly was a master cartoonist and sharp satirist. Pogo famously inspired Jeff Smith’s Bone — lush brushwork, endearing expressions, and beautiful choreography. (This is the one Sunday I own. It's just full of life.)
At current prices (you could look them up) it feels like Pogo is punching well below its weight.
Am I missing something?

You've been around SDCC long enough to remember the table with nothing but stacks of these in the 90's.  These are great stuff nonetheless with Kelly's inking being very masterful.

Yes, Greg, you're missing the the supply/demand factor. There's an endless supply and very little demand. A perfect example of something in this hobby being of high quality but few people caring.

Fun content and high art quality for a great price definately is harder than it used to be in this hobby and Walt Pogo strips certainly still fit that bill.
