Description
A Pogo strip from the first Christmas (1949) lived by the characters of the series :)
This classic and surreal strip operated on its own internal wacky logic, making it a fan-favorite for decades. In this daily, Pogo's Christmas carol rehearsal goes awry and Poky Pine is nowhere to be found, or is he?
On the back there's a stat attached and the following inscription:
"One of the most famous Christmas song (given to me by Philip Love my editor at the Washington Star)".

He began his animation career in 1936 at Walt Disney Studios, contributing to Pinocchio, Fantasia, and Dumbo.
