Let Nothing You Dismay

Christmas Day, 1969

Nobody celebrated Christmas, graphically, the way Kelly did, with total abandoned glee and musical joy. The black backgrounds always added punch on a page and had the atmosphere of deep winter. It was a pictorial gift to his fans, most every year.

Don't expect three Sundays a day alla time, I'm just trying to make it up for the last coupla weeks that you've had to do without.

Pictorial Emotions of the Address

I know what you folks really want, and that's Pogo Sundays, and I don't blame you. But I appreciate your indulging me in my posting of other material between sequences.

Here's the 1st of 3 that are next in line with the continuity of dates that I had going on over at the Pictorial Arts site. These 3 together stand alone, story-wise, if you get my convolution.

I know what you guys want.

I'm Dickens, He's Fenster was a rather popular sitcom at the time (Well I used to watch it). Who knows if Kelly picked the name Fenster out of a hat, or not. Moop would've been a great name for the later Addams Family show.

What's a Sunday without a Sunday Pogo?

Here's the scoop: I've got a lot of Pogo Sundays, that I clipped from the newspaper, from 1963 through the early 70s. Many of them have a story arc that could run from 2 weeks to 16 weeks or so.

I'm going to jump around the months and years in posting some sequential Sundays, keeping them in arc blocks. They will all have the file name format (using dates) that I used for the Pandemonia strips. That way, if you're saving them, once again you can just dump 'em in a folder and they will sort themselves by date. So even if I'm jumping around, ultimately all the gaps will be filled, and you'll have a pretty good continuity.

Unfortunately I am missing some Sundays, here and there, especially in the 1963 era, but hey, we'll live. And maybe, just maybe, some readers of this 'blog might have some strips to share and fill in blanks.

To start off, here's a rare 1 Sunday stand alone strip, not connected storywise to any other strip.
