Cliff Sterrett - Original Comic Strip Art for P
Cliff Sterrett - Original Comic Strip Art for Polly and her Pals Sunday (King Features Syndicate, circa 1930). Paw Perkins gets ready for the worst when Maw decides to take up driving in this undated Sunday page. This a very funny gag strip, with Paw and his shadow-like pet, Kitty, getting run down, back and forth, by an obstinate Maw, who is convinced that by simply "reading the book," she knows all there is to driving a car! It's a huge piece in excellent condition, measuring a whopping 26" x 33" (approximate), which includes the "topper" strip, Sweethearts and Wives. Artist Cliff Sterrett has been referred to as the "Picasso of the comics" for his inventive use of shapes and forms. This wonderfully wacky strip paved the way for all the "pretty girl" strips to come, like Fritzi Ritz and Boots and her Buddies, and then took the medium even further with great style and down to earth domestic humor. Comic fans the world over owe a debt of gratitude to Cliff Sterrett. Important notice: Heritage usually auctions material at the rate of 200-250 lots per hour. On some occasions eBay Live bid software or the Internet may not be able to keep up with the pace of the auction. We recommend placing a realistic absentee bid now as insurance to avoid disappointment. Occasionally the auctioneer may eliminate or reject an eBay Live bid, and the auctioneer may also reopen a lot after the close of the eBay live bidding (usually because we missed an audience bid), and may reject your bid even if it shows you as the winning bidder. By bidding via eBay Live, you agree that Heritage may award the lot to another bidder at its sole discretion under the circumstances described above or any other reasonable circumstances. Since eBay bids are not shown to us until we open the lot on the floor, we treat those bids just like floor bids. In most cases the floor responds before the eBay bid is presented to us, due to Internet lag time, so for consistency we have made it a policy that floor bids are always considered first over tie eBay live bids. Also please note that all Heritage lots purchased through eBay Live carry a 20% Buyer's Premium. Please make sure you read the Terms and Conditions before you bid.
