840.0. ""We have met the enemy ..."" by EXCENT::CALLAHAN (All generalizations are wrong!) Tue Nov 27 1990 20:51

    "... and he is us."
    
    I know Walt Kelly used this in his Pogo comic strip; and I have heard
    (but never seen attributed) the "... and he is ours" version to which
    this alludes.
    
    Can someone tell me the source of the original quote?
