Pogo Papers date

FYI, I changed the publication date for The Pogo Papers because I have a copy that says Copyright 1952, 1953 and has a Library of Congress number starting with 53-. Gwil 02:37, 5 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]

The copyright date is on the strips included in the book, which appeared during 1952 and 1953. I believe the book itself was published in late 1953. PabSungenis 19:51, 18 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Bulldogs

This is the first I've heard of the Bulldogs, though I have the collection Impollutable Pogo in which Spiro Agnew appears as a hyena. What species are Mitchell etc? —Tamfang 23:54, 2 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

The Bulldogs can be seen in the last three books of original material: We Have Met The Enemy And He Is Us, Pogo's Body Politic, and Pogo: Bats And The Belle's Free. Hoover was an English Bulldog, Mitchell was an Eaglet, and the Agnew Hyena was part of the team. Most characters just referred to them as "The Bulldogs" even though only Hoover's analogue was a bulldog. PabSungenis 19:54, 18 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Deacon Mushrat

While the Deacon is as hypocritical as the next critter, I'm startled at the current version of his description. I don't recall offhand any story in which he was notably underhanded or greedy, let alone a criminal mastermind. His narrow social views brought him into uneasy alliances with scoundrels like Mole and Catt. —Tamfang 03:25, 19 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

a boat in Dennis the Menace?

I'd like to put this in but can't source it: Dennis the Menace and his father were once seen fishing from a flat-bottomed boat whose long side was inscribed The Honorable Walter Kelly and the short end Ol' Walt. Dare I hope that someone out there can track it down? —Tamfang 04:18, 19 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
