I was thinking, since Jon finished scanning Fairy Tale Parade, that there were 5 great Kelly comic book projects that I know of.  I was wondering if anybody knows of other Major works of his that I should look for.  (I only just recently found out about Peter Wheat, for example.)

1) Animal Comics
2) Pogo Possum (Counted separately for several reasons, including there were other features in Animal, one is PD and one isn't, and one is secondary to the newspaper strip where the other was all on its own.)
3) Our Gang
4) Fairy Tale Parade
5) Peter Wheat

Is there any other title where Kelly did more than a handful of stories?  I know there are several things where he did covers for quite a run (WDC&S is perhaps the most famous), or where he did a handful of issues (Looney Tunes, Brownines).  But I think those are his major projects.

(And, of course, while typing I remembered two more:  Mother Goose and Santa Claus.  Anything else I'm forgetting?)

Expanding a little he did:
Christmas / Easter with Mother Goose, Mother Goose & Nursery Rhymes and might as well throw in Tiny Tots #1 here. (These except for TT #1 are all Four Color issues and all scanned if they're permitted here.)

He also did a fair amount of work in Raggedy Ann (and of course the Peter Pottlekin stories by Stanley are there as well).  I doubt if Raggedy Ann is PD unfortunately.
