Description

Warmly inscribed by the co-author, Walt Kelly's widow Selby Daley Kelly, to a friend on the title page. A color Pogo postcard with a humorous friendly message to the same friend from Kelly (and dated 10/5/'95) is laid in.

Pogo Files for Pogophiles, co-authored by Walt Kelly's widow Selby Daley Kelly and Pogo scholar Steve Thompson, "is not only a history of the Pogo comic book and strip, but an examination of its viewpoint. It examines various themes of the strip..."

This came from the library of Burny Mattinson (1935-2023), an animator, director, producer, and story artist for Walt Disney Animation Studios, from 1953 until his death in 2023. Mattinson directed Mickey's Christmas Carol and The Great Mouse Detective. He was named a Disney Legend in 2008 and was the longest serving employee of The Walt Disney Company, with a career that spanned almost 70 years. His extensive library included numerous subjects and especially large collections of books on Disney, animation, and classic comic strips.
