SUNDAY FUNNIES!! MAD's GOPO 'POSSOM

This is from MAD #23, which was the last issue of MAD comics, but not the last issue of MAD.  MAD #24 continued on in magazine format, which we will eventually see.

This was drawn by artist Wally Wood and written by MAD editor Harvey Kurtzman.   I don't think Harvey Kurtzman cared much for Walt Kelly, the creator of POGO.  He said he once applied for a job as an illustrator for newspaper and Kelly was the one that hired and he gave him the bum rush.   Well, pay back time!
