Stan MacGovern's Silly ran primarily in the New York Post, from 1938 to 1951. The latter few years were spent with a different syndicate. I've always enjoyed MacGovern's bouncy approach, along with his wonderful use of Zipatone. This undated daily is music-related, with lots of jive lingo from the period. Given the mention of Artie Shaw's "Frenesi" in the final panel, I believe this daily to be circa 1940, when the jazz tune was released.

An all chicken affair! More relevent to comic arts than ever before! Really great how MacGovern let the jokes free flow and making the reader set their own reading pace.
