Yoe goes Pogo
Our pal Craig "Modern Arf" Yoe has posted a scan of the very first Pogo comic strip over on his website. He does this ahead of Fantagraphics’ forthcoming Pogo reprint series, which will be a companion to their Peanuts, Popeye and Dennis programs (sounds like a law firm).
The last time – actually, the only time – I’d seen this original before was when it was framed and on the wall of Craig’s kitchen. To my everlasting credit, that is exactly where I had left it. Quite reluctantly.

Welp, I've now taken it off the kitchem wall and put the original in a bank vault. For real. Actually, before I did that I made a nice color xerosx put it in the frame and you can't tell the difference). I had to do this because the way you leered at it made me very nervous.
