Polly's Pilgrimage

I haven't done much on the Thanksgiving themed posts yet this month, so maybe it's about time to do so! And here's a funny little Polly Pigtails poem from the November 1947 issue, ("Play Pumpkinball!"), plus a funny gag at the end, all beautifully illustrated by Vic Herman.



















I'll have more from this issue in our next post too!

    Pumpkinballs?

    I hope you get a big turkey leg to chaw on!

    I like the way Polly has her own private, Polly-sized turkey in image four (and recreated on the cover). This is beautiful some ink wash illustration. Like a whole story made out of New Yorker cartoons.

    Happy Thanksgiving!

    Imagine how different this poem would be if image 8 said “Six months later” at the top...
