Comics: Cliff Sterrett's Polly And Her Pals Part Three
This post is just the tip of the iceberg... see reason number 2 on our The Top Ten Reasons To Support The A-HAA for links to more great posts about print cartoonists.
Cliff Sterrett is one of the most underrated newspaper cartoonists of all time. His strip, Polly & her Pals combined the surrealism of Herriman's Krazy Kat and the domestic comedy of George McManus' Bringing Up Father. To see our earlier posts on this subject, see... Cliff Sterrett's Polly & Her Pals Part One and Part Two.
Many thanks to Kent Butterworth for sharing these rare original comics pages with us.
