FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Okefenokee Swamp, Ga., April 53 (By Special Correspondent) --- The campaign hat of Pogo Possum was thrown into the presidential ring today by a group of political well-wisher who unfortunately forgot to remove the candidate from his lid. The Comic Strip character, who can count on a large following of sea gulls and other scavengers, was not noticeably disturbed. "I’ve been thrown before," he remarked to a cheering throng of vireos, titmice, and lesser bobolink. In 1952 Pogo was thrown so far that he was not even in sight on inauguration day. From a source close to the White House (a mouse who wished to remain unanimous) it has been learned that the Swamp candidate showed up in time for the Easter Egg roll and was promptly rolled for sixteen jelly beans, one hardboiled egg, and a chocolate rabbit. "They are playing SOME kind of a game, there at the Head Manse," said Pogo, when asked for comment, "but they ain’t playing POSSUM. Not fairly anyways." Pressed for ideas on his platform, the Okefenokee citizen indicated that he was for a regular old-fashioned flat-bottomed type platform for use at land or sea. When a reporter asked if this meant he was a "wet" or a "dry" candidate, the candidate replied that he was wet when it could not be helped but was normally as dry as a martini. Pogo departed with a motorcycle escort to keep a date with a small luncheon group of prominent catfish. igopogo.com
