For all its superficial identification with Georgia and the South, Pogo was a comic strip written by a northerner for a national audience. In the 1950s it was the most popular daily strip in America, primarily because of its blend of slapstick humor and engaging characters. It was unique for its occasional forays into political satire. Pogo's most famous target in the 1950s was an odious wildcat named Simple J. Malarkey, who had the unmistakable face of Senator Joseph McCarthy of Wisconsin. Kelly was one of the few cartoonists of the era willing to satirize McCarthy and his bullying tactics. In the spirit of cold-war liberalism... Kelly also lampooned the ideas and policies of communism by introducing into the strip a pig with Nikita Khrushchev's face and a goat with Fidel Castro's.
