Walt Kelly: Difference between revisions

Kelly died in 1973 in [[Woodland Hills, California]], from [[diabetes]] complications, following a long and debilitating illness that had cost him a leg. During his final illness, work on the strip had fallen to various assistants and occasionally reprints, and Kelly characteristically joked about returning to work as soon as he regrew the leg. He is sometimes listed as having been interred in the [[Cemetery of the Evergreens]] in [[Brooklyn]], New York]], but there is no grave for him there. He is believed to have been cremated.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://pabook.libraries.psu.edu/palitmap/bios/Kelly__Walt.html |title=Walt Kelly |access-date=2011-09-15 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120127052758/http://pabook.libraries.psu.edu/palitmap/bios/Kelly__Walt.html |archive-date=2012-01-27 }}</ref><ref>{{cite news |title=Walt Kelly, Pogo Creator, Dies |url=https://www.nytimes.com/1973/10/19/archives/walt-kelly-pogo-creator-dies-cartoonist-peopled-satiric-menagerie.html |access-date=March 19, 2019 |newspaper=[[New York Times]] |date=October 19, 1979}}</ref>
