I heartily recommend the Whirled of Kelly tribute as well.  Thom did a masterful job on it!
Kelly was one of the all-time best artists that doesn't get enough appreciation.  Fantagraphics are finally reprinting his complete Pogo newspaper strip run.

Check out the tribute - you will learn something even if you are a big fan already.
