Last week, after a look at advance proofs of the Pogo strip, editors of the strongly anti-McCarthy Providence Journal decided that Cartoonist Kelly had gone too far. Said Managing Editor Michael J. Ogden: "Kelly may be heading into deep waters . . . We still intend to express our views on the editorial page, but we vastly prefer to keep those views on that page . . . We shall drop Pogo on any days when his McCarthy cast appears...
...fanned to a white heat," said he. "It was frightening to me . . .A steady diet of this . . . will destroy us." Meanwhile, Tennessee's Ray Jenkins, special committee counsel at the long-winded hearings, discovered that he had popped up as Y. Y.

Some are forced. But no more amusing satire has come out of the essentially humorless battlegrounds of the cold...
...funniest part of Author Peter De Vroes's novel. The story is prety funny too-if somewhat special. It is centered in suburban Connecticut, where a slightly adulterous bunch of New York writers, artists and editors repair from their labors to indulge their neuroses and libidos. Cartoonist Augie Poole is one of them, a 16-cylinder Lothario who knows how to operate on curves. Augie's wife can turn her"china-blue eyes on her husband like two gun barrels," but she loves him and they decide to make themselves a threesome by adopting a baby...
