Roland J Scott was an Indianapolis-born cartoonist, active beginning in the World War One era for several Midwest papers. His real career was with us. He joined Editor’s Feature Service in 1926, the precursor to Central Press Association, a secondary Hearst syndicate. There he launched a one-column panel known as Sally’s Sallies. There was a fad of sorts for these panels in the late 1920s, centered on feminine fads and foibles.

Margy became a full strip for a little while, Fanny became one for a long while, but Sally’s Sallies outlasted them all, though never expanding from a one-panel gag, and without any recurring characters, for over forty years, 1926-1967.
