Okay, here's a truly strange one...
In 1969, Chuck Jones actually took a crack at the beloved Pogo Possum Swamp gang. Honestly, this is nothing like the original Walk Kelly comic (unusual for an animated adaptation, no?) - but it was still an interesting discovery.
Weirdest of all: at 7:40, the porcupine... that Chuck himself doing the voice!

Wow, Walt kelly meets Chuck Jones... too cool! I've seen the stop-motion movie: "Pogo for President", but I didn't know about this one. I've been reading some of the Pogo books lately – some of the greatest satire ever – Walt would have a field day today! Thanks for posting this!
I know, I haven't read those since I was a kid - I'd probably get a lot more out of them today. Did you ever see the Mad parody of Pogo? maybe i should throw some of that up...
Oh, yeah, "Gopo Gossum" by Kurtzman and Wood... hilarious stuff! That would be a cool post.
Alan Moore did a great homage to Pogo in one of his Swamp Thing stories: "Pog"... definitely worth a read.
