Hi Lin.....That's the final form that Walt Kelly used of his famous quote which appeared in about 1970 as part of the environmental push. However the original was a part of the Foreward of "The Pogo Papers" back in the early 50's when Kelly took on Joe McCarthy. I have always loved the original as well so here it is too!
"There is no need to sally forth, for it remains true that those things which make us human are, curiously enough, always close at hand. Resolve then, that on this very ground, with small flags waving and tinny blast on tiny trumpets, we shall meet the enemy, and not only may he be ours, he may be us."
