Friday Holiday Fun EASTER WITH MOTHER GOOSE "Humpty Dumpty"
An Easter-themed combination of a pair of classic nursery rhymes...
... courtesy of legendary writer/artist Walt (Pogo) Kelly...who really knew how to freshen up an old concept!
This never-reprinted short from Dell's Four Color Comics: Easter with Mother Goose (1948) expands on the nursery rhyme with a new adventure of the accident-prone ovum!
Walt Kelly also used Humpty in other Mother Goose comic stories.
Oddly, the cover, also by Walt Kelly, features a radically-different version of Humpty...
Weird, eh?

Easter Reading Room EASTER WITH MOTHER GOOSE "Goldilocks and the Baby Bear's Basket"
Here's a classic fairy tale everybody knows...
...adapted, with a couple of twists, for the Easter season by Walt (Pogo) Kelly!
A never-reprinted tale from Dell's Four Color Comics: Easter with Mother Goose #140 (1947) demonstrates how Walt Kelly could take even a tale you didn't think would work in this context and make it seasonally-appropriate!
