Hard to believe that some folks on this list  (or is it  just one folk?) 
believe that "Walt Kelly" is an unimportant artist.  In the USA, Kelly is 
generally considered one of the greatest comic strip artists of the 20th Century ---
  -- certainly his name recognition factor among the general public is well 
above Barks or Rosa   --- 
   sure is odd how things are different....
    there is even an annual festival held about Kelly.
