POGO: I've added a new "slot" to my comic strip reading. (I decided I could accomodate another light-hearted humor strip alongside Peanuts Every Sunday.) Eight years ago, when I finished reading the final volume of IDW's reprint of Li'l Abner, I decided I needed a "palate cleanser." (I think Al Capp is an excellent cartoonist, but, as a human being, he strikes me as someone I would not care to meet.) I decided that Walt Kelly's Pogo was the antithesis of Li'l Abner, so I decided to delve into that. I had just come off reading the entire run of Pogo comic books (as published by Hermes Press), but I didn't get very far into the comic strips at the time because Al Capp had pretty much soured me against all comic strips for a while. But I'm back back in the mood now, and have started with "Through the Wild Blue Wonder," volume one of Pogo: The Complete Syndicated Comic Strips.
WONDER WOMAN #18 - "At times, chaos comes to our shores. We are tested, and we are wounded, and we are broken. But we are not conquered. from the low places, we put our faith in our better angels. And with thier blessed nurture... we rise... to face our enemy once again."

I understand that reference!
Actually, for me, it's more like THIS.
