Great for a fan of the series or
artist Walt Kelly (and you just hate Pogo). Good stories, good art, great
color restoration and the introductions are essential for film buffs.
Strangely, the most realistic
artwork of the Our Gang group is a story that is not drawn (and maybe not even
written by Kelly) and the critics in the Intros hate it!
As for the work themselves, I would
not be surprised that this book becomes a banned book for the portrayal of
Buckwheat and Blacks as stupid and Minstrel-like. Many of the jokes and WWII
elements may be over the heads of kids under 10 and are not familiar with the
second World War. Still worth consuming (and as for Pogo, I don’t hate it, I just
don’t get it!).
