another modest proposal

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.

I'd say try Ten Ever-Lovin' Years. I truly believe that this is the sweet, nutty center of the whole series. His art may have been cleaner in the 60s, and the lettering crisper, but such lunacy as Albert and Beauregard's thinking contest have never been excelled. You may also find his prose sections and poetry an unexpected treat.

And if not, well, that's life. I'm thinking that if it aged, it may have been his topical material, and if it aged badly, it may be we're talking about his 60s stuff.
