Back to Walt Kelly's Pogo and the great 1956 visit to Australia. The Kangaroo, having determined that Pogo and Mouse must come from Mars, decided to start up the first Interplanetary Oleo-lympics. Here, he tries to sign up Pogo, representative for Mars, for various sporting events. A weary Pogo finally decides to go ahead and sign up for something, then. What's Mars got to lose?
