More Walt Kelly Christmas Cuteness


Kelly didn't write "Lord Octopus" from Santa Claus Funnies #2, 1943, which is credited to Stella Mead. "Petey Parrot's Christmas" isn't credited, but it doesn't read like something from the creator of Pogo. The artwork looks rushed, but even rushed Kelly is often better than that by other artists.

"Petey" is from Dell Four-Color #285, Santa Claus Funnies, 1948 edition.

If you haven't had enough Kelly, go back to Christmas 2006 and Pappy's #66 for "The Search For Santa" from Dell Four Color #90, Christmas With Mother Goose.
