Walt Kelly

Walt Kelly (1913–1973): A Philadelphia-born artist trained in Bridgeport, Kelly honed his craft animating Disney classics (Pinocchio, Dumbo) before redefining comics with Pogo (1948–1973). His Okefenokee Swamp denizens—starring in Animal Comics and Albert the Alligator—balanced Southern charm and biting satire. The 1951 Reuben Award winner fused visual poetry with ethical insight, leaving timeless resonance in graphic storytelling.
