one of them Howland Owl?

No, Howland Owl is a character in "Pogo" by Walt Kelly. The "Kudzu"
strip is set in the Southern USA and has people in it not talking
animals (except the parakeet, who like Snoopy, just thinks).

Characters is the Kudzu comic strip (as best as I can remember them):
Kudzu
Momma (Kudzu's mother)
Veronica (Kudzu's love interest)
Wanda Wombat (feminist that is in love with Kudzu)
Reverend Will B. Dunn (Preacher)
Marcus (Kudzu's friend that has it all together)
Nasal T. Lardbottom (whitest of the white boys)
Uncle Dub (Kudzu's uncle who is the town's mechanic)
Doris (Kudzu's paraket that is a self proclaimed choc-o-holic & watches
Masterpiece theater)
I think that there might be a few others, but it's late.
Hope this helps.

No, I think that's it! Way to go David! Nice one....
Well, Shelley Smith, I can vouch for these answers, I was a big Kudzu
fan until the Houston Chronicle pulled 'em off.

It's still on the Houston Chronicle web site...or are you referring to the
paper version of the Chronicle?

read too many comics on the web. I think "The Norm" is about the only
strip I read regularly on the web.

In addition to the fictional characters listed above, many a political
figure and celebrity has appeared as a character in Kudzu, though
sometimes (in the manner of Doonesbury) only as an off-panel voice -
over the years he's featured such diverse characters as The Ayotollah
Khomenei, Richard Nixon, Jimmy Swaggert, Oliver North, George Bush
(who, as a previous winner, once congratulated Lardbottom on winning
Whitest of the White Boys title), Bill & Hillary, Jesse Helms, Salman
Rushdie (who is hiding out in Bypass to escape the Ayotollah), etc.
The original poster asked about a Pogo character - another Pogo-Kudzu
link is Rev. Dunn's quadrennial presidential candidacy (though, Rev.
Dunn actively seeks the Oval Office, unlike the reluctant Pogo, whose
candidacy was always initiated by others).

Pretty much got 'em, though it's Ida Mae Wombat, not Wanda ... and I'm not
sure about the name of Kudzu's love interest. Isn't it Veranda?

We've almost forgotten Nathan P. Goodvibes, Rev. Dunn's bowtied
secular-humanist arch-rival.

Don't forget:
Nathan Goodvibes: school guidance counselor (I think)
(and, by the way, isn't it 'Ida Mae Wombat?' I won't bet my life...)
