Walter Crawford Kelly, Jr. (1913-1973), commonly known as Walt Kelly, was an American animator and cartoonist, best known for the comic strip Pogo. He began his animation career in 1936 at Walt Disney Studios, contributing to Pinocchio, Fantasia, and Dumbo. In 1941, Kelly transferred at age 28 to work at Dell Comics, where he created Pogo, which became his platform for political and philosophical commentary.” —Wikipedia

Pogo's take on the 1960 elections (remember those) begins with Miz Weevil's son Fremont being touted for president. His slogan is "Jes Fine" (really the only 2 words he knows but is as good a slogan as any). It goes downhill from there with Pogo's pals, Albert, Howland Owl, Congersman Frog, Tammany the tiger, Porky, P. T. Bridgeport and the rest of the Okefenokee folks contributing to the general mayhem in this classic Pogo.
