Todd: I couldn't agree with you more. Kelly was simply amazing and I am going to post some more of his work as soon as I can lay my mitts on some.

I love this comic! I have the exact issue in NM condition. I LOVE just staring at the art. It's like eye candy to me! Beautiful stuff! It amazes me how funny comics are dismissed as lower class work! I say
BOLOGNA! Give me the funny stuff over the superhero junk any day of the week!

RE: That moment you mention, with the Brownies deep in thought, floored me as well. I love how Kelly has them trying harder the second time - more intense expressions, more squiggly lines - then the lead Brownie says simply - Maybe we better get help.

This issue of Four Color has sent me on a Kelly quest, so you should be seeing some more before too long. Next up - Little Archie by Bob Bolling! -- Mykal

Thanks for posting this wonderful little story by Kelly. He had such a warm and gentle way of telling a simple tale. I loved the two panels where the brownies are trying to think of a "plan" with the squiggly dark lines of "no success" over their heads. Somehow the oogies remind me of Captain Crunch's "soggies" :)
Also, the Cooking Corner poem (about the elephant) is charming--in the best sense of the term.

You are so right about Kelly, he was so talented, and yeah, his comics were gentle and sweet and funny, really funny and cute. Age doesn't matter,the smallest child to the oldest adult would find Kelly entertaining. What a great style he had!

I love the skate on the cover! And I think if Snap, Crackle, and Pop (ha - looks like 'em a bit, don't it?) had their way , the next panel would show them enjoying some turtle soup!
