This book collects a sequence of Pogo comic strips where the running gag was a parody of the then-popular trading stamps (Puce in place of the real-life Green Stamps). The book's cover features a darker shade than the two puce books you feature. But the Pogo book has long been my reference for what puce looks like. You can see for yourself if you look the book up on Amazon.Jim Meadowshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03992575111576750824noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2045845679444796608.post-76693581370406439402011-12-26T21:05:17.126Z2011-12-26T21:05:17.126ZWL and his Blast, good to hear someone else intere...WL and his Blast, good to hear someone else interested in such things...<br /><br />exc blog too !!<br />kllrchrd3Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2045845679444796608.post-71600624554791407882011-12-26T01:38:22.845Z2011-12-26T01:38:22.845ZThe war booklet looks more puce than Lewis's p...The war booklet looks more puce than Lewis's puce monster.
