Happy Birthday salute to Walt Kelly!
Walt Kelly was born in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania and soon after his family moved to Bridgeport, Connecticut. He grew up in Bridgeport, attended Warren Harding High School and worked for the local newspaper, The Bridgeport Post, as a reporter and political cartoonist.
Walt Kelly worked for nearly seven years at the Walt Disney Studio, animating on Mickey Mouse shorts and contributing to such features as Pinocchio, Dumbo, and Fantasia.
He loved to draw and illustrated a biography of Bridgeport, CT native P. T. Barnum (See our friends at Barnum Museum too).
