And how about a Library of America volume of Walt Kelly? They printed cartoons in the Thurber volume, and they looked great. All the poems he wrote. The prose portions of Ten Ever-Lovin' Blue-Eyed Years with Pogo are classic.

Failing that, a book of his poems.

If any cartoonist were to break into the Library of America, I hope they would have the good sense to make it Walt Kelly.

Also, let's face it, he drew a bit better than Thurber did.

Thurber himself wrote in one of his essays that his editor defended him against him being "a fifth-rate artist" with "You mean third-rate."

Harold Ross, bless him.
