He was the art director of the paper, doing editorial cartoons and putting Pogo into comic strip form. In the late '40s, Kelly went to work for the New York Star, a liberal daily newspaper that only lasted a few years. Finally, he created the cast of Pogo for Animal Comics. There are four volumes reprinting Kelly's work on this strip. He did the comic book version of Our Gang (later known to baby boomers as The Little Rascals when the films reached TV) and made a conscious effort to draw the Buckwheat character (whose name Kelly shortened to Bucky) in a non-stereotypical manner. He did fairy tale material aimed at young children. Exempt from the World War II draft for health reasons, Kelly returned to comic books where he did a variety of material that showed off his versatility.
