Monday Madness CHRISTMAS WITH MOTHER GOOSE "Christmas Problem of the Woman in the Shoe"

We presented a Yuletide story of the classic Old Woman Who Lives in a Shoe HERE...

...but it wasn't Walt (Pogo) Kelly's first visit to the unique domicile filled with children!

Written and illustrated by Kelly, this never-reprinted story from Dell's Four Color Comics: Christmas with Mother Goose #90 (1945) was Walt's first take on the concept!

Which one do you think is better?

Monday Madness CHRISTMAS WITH MOTHER GOOSE "Christmas in the Shoe"

Walt (Pogo) Kelly was Dell's go-to creator for light-hearted kids' stories...

...as this tale from Dell's Four Color Comics #201: Christmas with Mother Goose (1948) amply demonstrates!

Kelly was expert at doing sequels to classic fairy tales, often inserting them into situations never conceived of by the original storytellers, yet making them "feel" totally-natural, as if they were "lost" stories by the original creators!
BTW, this was not the only time Kelly put the characters in a Christmas tale!
You'll see the other one next week!

Note: this was reprinted once, in a magazine, Western/Golden's Christmas Annual #8 (1975),

This is the only issue which included comics.
