Season’s Greetings & Happy Holidays!
Posted: December 22, 2010
Sending you all Season’s Greetings and Happy Holidays with this lovely Sunday newspaper page of Polly & Her Pals, with the charming wordless ‘topper’ of Dot & Dash, both by the American genius Cliff Sterrett from IDW’s wondrous oversized new compendium, perhaps the most ravishing reprint edition of the year, which I’ve shamelessly treated myself to this Christmas.
In Dot & Dash I love the way our pup and kittie marvel as the wintry weather seems to thaw, before it snaps back again, as it looks set to do here in Britain. And as well as enjoying Sterrett’s deliriously distorted designs in the main Polly strip, please do read the Polly dialogue, as her cough wakes up her parents and Paw stumbles about finding a cough drop for her, waking up the whole household. But all we see of these out-of-view shenanigans is the agitated, animated moggie reacting in the moonlight to the hoohah, before it’s ‘Snap!’, lights out and everyone falls back to sleep again. Nighty night!
