> Wreck the malls with cows on Harleys!
On a similar shopping note, especially those looking at the bills after
this expensive time of year ....
Joy to the world, the mall's on fire !
Then there was the kids saying in England, back in the days of just

I am old enough to remember and if my memory is correct,
it is from Pogo.
But wait! There's more! Pogo is soon to return to your
local comics!

| 603.11 | For those who've never heard of Pogo... | AITG::TRUMPLER | Taking the 'I' out of AI | Fri Dec 30 1988 14:56 | 11 |
| _Pogo_ is/was a comic strip written/drawn by Walt Kelly, starting in
the 1930s or so. It was almost certainly the first long-running
politically-oriented comic strip, and it featured animal inhabitants
of Okefenokee Swamp (located in Florida or Georgia). Pogo was a
'possum.
Much of the humor (e.g. "Deck the halls...") seems to have survived
the decades fairly well, since I enjoyed much of it as a kid in the
60s and 70s.

| Re Pogo:
The whole Christmas Carol went on:
Don't you know Archaic Barrel ...
Oh, I forgot the rest.
There was another that didn't get beyond the first line. It started:
"Good King Sauerkraut looked out
"On his feets uneven ..."
I think Churchy LeFemme (the turtle) started to sing this one.
He was interrupted by:
Owl: Wensislaus! [sp?]
Chl: What?
Owl: Wensislaus! Wensislaus is king!
Chl: Really? I didn't even hear that King Sauerkraut was under
the weather, much less dead....

| 603.14 | Where to get it | CRLVMS::TREESE | Win Treese, Cambridge Research Lab | Sat Dec 31 1988 05:57 | 8 |
| I think that the "Boston Charlie" song is reprinted in the collection
_Outrageously_Pogo_ (by Walt Kelly, of course).
If not, it is undoubtedly in one of the other Pogo collections,
available at fine bookstores everywhere.
