Pogo Possum

Origin
Pogo is a friendly, simple, thoughtful, everyman opossum residing in the Okefenokee Swamp of the southeastern United States. Being the swamp's wisest levelheaded resident, he is one of the few sensible creatures that knows how to avoid trouble, though his kind nature often corners him in the hardships of his neighbors.

Pogo's list of associates include both friends and antagonists, such as Albert Alligator, Howland Owl, Captain Churchy La Femme, Porky Pine, Willy de Weevil, and the local human boy Bumbazine among many others.

During his initial appearance, Pogo was depicted as a realistic anthropomorphic possum dressed in a collared shirt and bowtie. But as his comics wore on, he gradually became more cartoony in appearance, becoming more humanoid in posture and wearing only a simple red shirt.
