    Polly, your first lesson is there is no such thing as a “tame” animal. Anyone who assumes a circus lion or elephant is tame deserves the lesson they’ll get when they try to test it.

    I don’t like that Polly character at all.

    For openers, what the heck does her brother and sister have to do with the news story she’s trying to deliver? How do we actually know the “victims” were knocked unconscious by the animals? Where are these “eyewitnesses”, and who are they?

    It’s just a one-ring circus, what do you expect?

    Maybe she lives at the circus; she has no nose!

    A cracker? No, what Polly wants is a nose.

    Anyone get why the 4 is so bold in the balloons? Are we supposed to infer something from that?

    Neither Molly nor Wally had a nose either. I guess it’s a family defect. Wonder what they do when they have a cold.

    Wally Ballew, as was mentioned by Polly, was on the old Bob and Ray Show. That was from 1952-53. Bob Elliott was born in 1923. Could Polly have had a brother who would have been born that long ago?

    Phooey, Stevero stole my thought.

    Wally Ballou is the first character listed here:

    No noses? How do they smell?

    Whatever happened to Swivel? She must be in her 80s now.
