Created in 1946 and 1947, these stories show Walt Kelly refining the style that would serve him so well for his later masterpiece—\u003ci\u003ePogo\u003c\/i\u003e.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nMuch of this fourth volume is taken up with an extended four-part cycle of stories—almost a graphic novel, really!—in which Froggie and the Gang (including Julip the Goat) ship out with Professor Gravy on his showboat for an engagement downriver, which results (of course) in a series of action-packed adventures involving fisticuffs, gunfire, fireworks, and horse thieves. All this, plus more mundane kid pursuits such as a hotly-contested baseball game.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nAs always, series editor Steve Thompson is on hand to provide fascinating behind-the-scenes details on these marvelous stories. For anyone who loves those simple, innocent post-war times, the \u003ci\u003eOur Gang\u003c\/i\u003e stories are as refreshing as a five-cent glass of home-made lemonade on a hot summer day.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n                        \u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n                        \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eWalt Kelly\u003c\/b\u003e is the creator of the legendary \u003ci\u003ePogo\u003c\/i\u003e comic strip.
