The three smaller photos originated with NBC, which telecast the special, and the two larger photos with MGM Television, which produced it. All five of the publicity photos on this page were taken within a short period of time and then distributed to newspapers and magazines to promote The Pogo Special Birthday Special, a half-hour animated television show based on Kelly's comic strip that was first telecast on Sunday, May 18, 1969. Well, maybe not one day in the life-not unless Walt Kelly changed his shirt in the middle of a publicity shoot in Hollywood-but certainly not more than two. There's a different photo of Kelly and Jones with Todd Kausen, along with one of Kelly and Todd, on page 290 of Chuck Amuck. Walt Kelly at the piano (with a copy of his book Songs of the Pogo), observed by Chuck Jones and Jones's grandson, Todd Kausen, now the chairman of the Chuck Jones Center for Creativity.
