Hard to Figure out the Angles

[deckardcanine]

Here's something hard to get about a comic work of art:
If everybody's dumb in it, then how can it be smart?
I have in mind a certain strip of malapropic fools,
Who frequently confuse themselves and break a lot of rules.
The bulk of them, as lousy friends, don't treat each other fairly,
Yet sins are soon forgotten; lasting changes happen rarely.
I feel as if I ought to call the comic strip a no-go,
But I can't hate cute animals, especially not Pogo.

I've been buying up the recently-released unabridged books as they come out. I remember one election an enormous number of people voted for Pogo for president, Walt Kelley had to send out proclamations so people wouldn't waste their vote next time.
