Gotta love Porky's expressions.

Mish-Mash of Facts Marches on!


So, here we are back to the book Prehysterical Pogo (in Pandemonia) for a few more strips. These were also printed in the daily paper, but for these few, I'm scanning the book for cleaner images (also for the sake of completion of the book).

And yes, I know we missed a day between this strip and the previous. It seems to have gone away. I think it would have had the Congressman, er, frog, enter stage right.
