Mouse giving a reading from his speakeasy school. In the comic strip it's a piece of Kipling, enough of the Recessional to send the insect patron under the table. Pogo got a lot of credit for political allegory with the Simple J Malarky storyline and character, and for many other caricatures of specific political figures. But this storyline, responding to the problems bringing students to school in Little Rock by having people teaching in a speakeasy school in a little rock, is one of the plainest examples of barely coding your message on the page.
