Pogo was the principal cartoon character in a daily comic strip by
Walt Kelly.
He was a possum located in
Okefenoke swamp and spent a great deal of
time fishing from a simple, slab-sided
scow. His discussions with the other denizens of the swamp had a great deal of bearing on the external world, so one would wonder that such an obvious "country"
soul could have such urbane things to say.
