Polly and Her Pals: Complete Sunday Comics, Volume 2 collects all the Polly and Her Pals strips drawn by Cliff Sterrett from 1928-1930.
As I said in my review of the first volume, this is the real shit. Sterrett puts Sam Perkins, aka Paw, through ordeal after ordeal with hilarious results. Despite being a henpecked curmudgeon, Sam Perkins is a good man who loves animals.
Sterrett's skill is on display on every page. He's equally adept with word play and silent gags. Things veer surreal but there aren't as many standout strips in this volume as there were the previous. I did think it was bold to do ten linked Sunday strips in a row, something not typically done in humor comics.
The only thing bad about this volume is that there isn't a volume 3. Five out of five stars.
