Yes, DougR, I do miss Pogo. Although Walt Kelly's "We has met the enemy and he is us" is indeed a classic line of epic proportions, my favorite "bit" was the (almost) monthly commemoration of Friday the Thirteenth (the day, not the movie!):

"Friday the Thirteenth comes on a [Monday, Tuesday, etc.] this month"

...and, of course, all the animals would hide in fear and refuse to come out of their homes when Friday the Thirteenth came on a Friday!
