Kelly, Walt. Original four-panel drawing from the comic strip "Pogo," signed and inscribed in the lower border, "Happy 15th Birthday to David Lewis -- Sincerely -- Walt Kelly." The strip was published December 26, 1967, by The Hall Syndicate, Inc., and shows Pogo discussing with Albert the long underwear Albert is wearing because his aunt gave it to him for Christmas, and whether it is appropriate dress in which to receive a lady. Pogo was a daily comic strip published from 1948 until Kelly's death in 1973. The characters from Okefenokee were extremely popular for the humor and the political and social commentary they expressed. The strip is in fine condition and is matted and framed to 23 x 11 inches. A scarce, original example of one of the century's most important comic strips, signed by its creator.
Estimated Value $650 - 1,250.
