Walt Kelly takes on Senator Joseph McCarthy in the form of wildcat Simple J. Malarkey (a controversial move at the time) and more in this collection of years 1953-1954 of the seminal mid-century newspaper strip.

Its in this volume (featuring another two years worth of Pogo strips) that we meet one of Walt Kellys boldest political caricatures. Folks across America had little trouble equating the insidious wildcat Simple J. Malarkey with the ascendant anti-Communist senator, Joseph McCarthy. The subject was sensitive enough that by the following year a Providence, Rhode Island newspaper threatened to drop the strip if Malarkeys face were to appear in it again. Kellys response? He had Malarkey appear again but put a bag over the characters head for his next appearance. Ergo, his face did not appear. (Typical of Kellys layers of verbal wit, the character Malarkey was hiding from was a Rhode Island Red hen, referencing both the source of his need to conceal Malarkey and the underlying political controversy.) The entirety of these sequences can be found in this book. But the Malarkey storyline is only a tiny portion of those rich, eventful two years, which include such classic sequences as con-man Seminole Sams attempts to corner the market on water (which Porkypines Uncle Baldwin tries to one-up by cornering the market on dirt); a return engagement of Pup Dog and Houndogs blank-eyed Little Orphan Annie parody Lil Arf and Nonny; Churchy La Femme going in drag to deliver a love poem he wrote, Cyrano style, on Deacon Mush-rats behalf to Sis Boombah (the aforementioned hen); P.T. Bridgeports return to the swamp in search of new talent; and of course two rousing choruses of Deck Us All With Boston Charlie. In addition to presenting all of 1953 and 1954s daily strips complete and in order for the first time anywhere (many of them once again scanned from original syndicate proofs, for their crispest and most detailed appearance ever), Pogo Volume 3: Evidence to the Contrary also contains all 104 Sunday strips from these two years, presented in lush full color for the first time since their original appearance in Sunday sections 60 years ago plus the usual in-depth Swamp Talk historical annotations by R.C. Harvey, spectacular samples of Kellys work scanned from original art, and a whole lot more!

My favorite low socks ever
Fit Type: Classic Fit, Color: Gray Assorted, Size: Large
Under armour adult essential Lite no-show socks are 96% polyester and 4% spandex footwear of imported origin. The polyester content of the socks enables them to hold their shape in a better manner along with having a non-absorbent nature. Additionally, it enables the socks to retain the colour in a better manner. Spandex improves their fit along with helping them last for longer time. The flat fit construction of UA Men's Essential Lite is so designed to conform to foot for superior touch and feel. The material wicks engineered within the fabric dry sweat quickly and keep the feet fresh. The embedded arch support further keeps you going by reducing foot fatigue. The set comes with 6 pairs of socks with pull on closure for the perfect fit. Ultrathin lightweight construction of the socks adds to user comfort by allowing users to conduct physical activity and work out while wearing it. Elastic strength of the socks prevents them from slipping down irrespective of the shoes they are worn with. The socks come in 8-12 men shoe size and 9-12 women shoe size. They can be machine washed and are extremely durable while being cost effective. I ordered the socks based on their colour and design symmetry. So far my socks have been through multiple washes and still look new and user ready. I wear them daily because of their amazing fit and plan to buy more as Christmas gifts.

Love these socks!
Fit Type: Classic Fit, Color: Black, Size: Large
They are a little on the thin side, but that is how I like them. Thin, comfortable, breathable, but still sturdy. They work great for me and I have bought them several times for me and my kids over the years.

Thin
Fit Type: Classic Fit, Color: Gray Assorted, Size: Medium
I bought these thinking they would be slightly thicker material. They are thin but don't make my feet sweat working outside in the heat while wearing them during my work shift. They are comfortable and stay in place so I don't have to keep fishing for them inside my shoe to move them up a bit. The one thing I wish they had was the support band in the middle of the foot.

Super comfortable
Fit Type: Classic Fit, Color: Black, Size: Large
Love these socks. They are very soft fabric but also heavy so they are very durable. And the price is far cheaper than any of my local stores.
