The Lost Adventures of “Calloway the Castaway” Episode 20
Some readers might think that the comic strip “Calloway the Castaway” starts getting weird here. My older brother was a fan of the comic strip “Pogo” by Walt Kelly, and in the next few episodes, he starts to borrow Kelly’s style a little bit. The emphasis in the comic strip is the storyline rather than the punchline, and there will be more stuff going on in the panels.
Even back in 1979, I liked the change, but it might have been a little much for readers of our local weekly newspaper. A lot of people didn’t/don’t ‘get’ “Pogo.” Even now, I don’t always ‘get’ “Pogo.”
I don’t think any readers ever complained, though. At least if they did, the complaints never made it to the letters page.
