Crumbling Paper: Polly Sleepyhead

Here’s an example I scanned of Peter Newell’s beautifully-drawn strip Polly Sleepyhead from 1907.

Please be advised that like many of the comic strips of the era, it contains offensive racial depictions. If this sort of thing offends you, you may not want to view it.
