…as well as Vol. 1, actually, but nonetheless … check out a sketch that Jeff Smith posted on his blog in celebration of Walt Kelly’s birthday last week:
Jeff says:
Fantagraphics is doing a second volume of Walt Kelly’s Our Gang comics from the 1940s. The first collection was a pretty straight forward adaptation of the short films in terms of setting and characters. This one has Kelly starting to take control; Spanky has been replaced by Happy (essentially Spanky with freckles at this stage), and the gang has a multi-part adventure on the high seas when they are accidentally marooned aboard a floating movie-prop pirate ship.
Volume 1 shipped earlier this summer.
