The Naps of Polly Sleepyhead

This Sunday comic strip follows a young girl named Polly through a series of dreamlike scenarios triggered by daytime naps. The narrative unfolds across eight panels, establishing a cause-and-effect sequence that was becoming standard in early newspaper comics. The artist employs consistent character design, speech balloons, and sequential panel progression to tell a complete story. The strip exemplifies the visual vocabulary developed by Sunday supplement cartoonists in the early 1900s—techniques that would become foundational to comic book storytelling. Polly's adventures blend domestic humor with imaginative fantasy, a formula that appealed to newspaper readers across age groups and helped establish the Sunday funny papers as a distinct medium.
