Holiday Reading Room CHRISTMAS WITH MOTHER GOOSE "Animals' Christmas"

There's a whole slew of Walt (Pogo) Kelly-created Christmas-themed tales...

...and I'll post them as a major part of the Holiday Reading Room series!

A never-reprinted Walt Kelly tale from Dell's Four Color #90 (1945) subtitled Christmas with Mother Goose, the first of the annual Yuletide anthologies that ran from 1945 to 1949 which utilized fairytale characters in X-Mas settings!

Holiday Reading Room CHRISTMAS WITH MOTHER GOOSE "Night Before Christmas"

It's Christmas Eve, and what better way to celebrate than with...

as re-told (and enhanced) by writer/artist Walt (Pogo) Kelly?

Hard to believe this cool version of the classic tale from Dell's Four Color #126 (1946) aka Christmas with Mother Goose, has been reprinted only once, and that was 27 years ago!

I echo Santa in saying "Merry Christmas to all and to all a good night!"!

Friday Fun CHRISTMAS WITH MOTHER GOOSE "Jeminy's Christmas"

From the fertile mind of Walt (Pogo) Kelly...

...a Christmas tale featuring several fairy tale characters and some Kelly originals!

Published in Dell's Four Color Comics #253 (1949), this Walt Kelly-written and illustrated story was part of the Christmas with Mother Goose anthologies that appeared annually in the Four Color series from 1945 to 1949.

Before his comic strip Pogo took off, Kelly did a prodigious amount of work for Dell in their humor and holiday titles, most of which has never been reprinted.

His work has a gentle whimsy perfect for reading to little children before bedtime.

We've run almost a dozen of his stories (mostly holiday stuff) which you can read by clicking HERE!
