There was a character in Pogo, a groundhog as I remember, who would
take his offspring on outing and tell him very erroneous things
about the world they encountered. In one of the strips in which he
appeared, probably more than one, probably in most in which he
appeared, someone would correct him whereupon he would take his
cane after the corrector, shouting: "How dare you destroy a boy's
faith in his father." I feel the same way.
And this is when Stephen Straker, our resident POGO expert, would
normally be called upon to spill the details and quote some line from
Churchy la Femme or Seminole Sam or to recount a bit of wisdom on why
the "plural of man is woman." But since he has left the building it
falls to me to mention that I am not well versed in swamp lore but to
my collection of "How to Run a Bassoon Factory for Business and
Pleasure," which consists of vols one, and one, I have now added H.
Allen Smith, "Life in a Putty Knife Factory," which begins with a
"partial dedication," "ten percent of this book is dedicated to
Harold Matson." Resistance is useless.
