Pop loved Pogo. The Christmas strips were particular favorites of his, but I don’t recall this specific one. The Russian jokes tie it to the Cold War/Space Race storyline… Somewhere I’ve got the books that introduce the two-headed dog who barks in Russian and a kind of gibberish that I find hysterically funny (pookapookapooka!). This one has St Nicholas and his reindeer (Albert the Alligator and his trusty moose), with Pogo along to make with the good cheer (oog). Walt Kelly was the greatest daily comic strip artist in American history. His Pogo strip was an uncanny mixture of laughter,…

I called the office, asked what their hours were, and hung up. Should have immediately called…

I saw those weirdo “Impeach Obama” guys at the corner of Golf and Roselle again on my way home. Took a picture of the guy (sorry for bad quality, blown up from mirror shot) talking and laughing with the guy behind me. The driver actually gave money to this… Bozo. They must travel around the area with their little signs and clipboards – here’s a story from a while back: The middle-aged man hoisting an “Impeach Obama” poster appeared to be intelligent, level-headed, and sincere.
