Mr. Peabody and Sherman here

Gents,

Gosh-a-mickle-dickle-pickle, gee-willy-wobble, dog-my-cats and rower-brazzle! Somebody else is into Pogo!

As a USMC Officer my Dad was expected to be conservative, at least back in the '50's, and he was killed when I was too young to talk about being a closet liberal, but he hid the books from the kids so I have my suspicions.

One last piece of Pogo trivia; It's been said the Ike won the 1952 election because he was the first candidate to appreciate the medium of television, and all I remember about his tenure in office is that when he had a heart attack every grade school kid in the nation sent him a get-well letter. Thing is, everybody got in on the presidential bandwagon in 1952; Howdy Doody ran for president of the kids but all the critters of the Okefenokee Swamp put Pogo up for the Presidency against his wishes and he won a rather embarrassingly large number of write-in votes. Walt Kelly wrote a campaign song for Pogo with a Dixieland beat and every political cliché known to man. If you ever get a chance to listen to "I Go Pogo" it will allay many of the political fears some of us harbor today. Or, stop by my house if you're ever in Northern Colorado and I'll sing it for you as I have sung it during every election since the '60's.
