Polly & Her Pals cont.
- As I’ve mentioned in the past, I’m a long-time lover of Cliff Sterrett‘s Polly & Her Pals comic strip. I particularly love when it goes into a graphic surrealism. I’ve chosen a few strips that I’d like to post; they’re not only beautiful, but they’re still funny.
These all come from the 2nd volume of The Complete Color Polly & Her Pals (1927-1929), edited by Rick Marschall and printed by Kitchen Sink Press.
I post the strip followed by a couple panels viewed larger, for your entertainment.

Many thanks for posting these. Like you, I’m also a big fan of Polly’s dadaist humour, and it’s pacing is right up my alley. It’s just a shame that the latest available collection is out of my price range.
If it were $20, I’d snatch it up, no question. $40? Pushing it, but still reasonable under those rates. But $75 apiece? Too expensive for my taste. Better to wait until the price goes down, or find it at bargain prices second-hand elsewhere. I’m a fan, but not THAT big a fan.
