Product Description

Review
..".after World War II, when I came home, Krazy Kat became my hero. I had never seen Krazy Kat up until then because neither one of the papers in the Twin cities published it, so I didn't know Krazy Kat. But then it became my ambition to draw a strip that would have as much life and meaning and subtlety to it as Krazy Kat had."

Product Description
Krazy Kate, created by George Herriman, made its debut in 1913. During its 31 year run, it was enormously popular with the public and with many writers, artists, and intellectuals of the time. An innovative cartoon masterpiece and the first major biographical work on the artist himself.

5.0 out of 5 stars Kwite brithtakin', 18 Jan 2002
By S. Murphy (Worcester) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Oh my goodness. I started reading the "krazy" strips in the independent about ten years ago and for some weeks thought 'uhnn?' Then it began to sink in. The surrealsism, the sublime risktaking with plot, the Becket-like lack of endings, the Pinteresque pauses whene 'Nothing' happens. Never has blind love and blind hate been so beautifully drawn. We are all of us as "krazy" as dat ket and these sugar coated bitter sweet heppy pills make sense of the senseless. Few strips make me laugh out loud AND shed a tear but the pathos of "krazy" and his sweet, unrequited (and frankly, homosexual) love for Ignatz ('sin's simbol') gets me every time. Buy this book and be "as heppy as a plover in heather!"

5.0 out of 5 stars Zip........POW......'Kontact'. I'm a heppy, heppy ket., 22 April 1998
By A Customer
I was first introduced to Krazy Kat through the auspices of the Tucson Comic News. The world of George Herriman is populated partly by lunatic creatures, partly by all-too-human struggles, and completely by his marvelously "sillygistical" prose. Herriman's art is comic strip art at its absolute best. His prose is misnamed poetry, half "found" in a strange Brooklyn patois, half lifted direct from Yeats. This book also contains a fairly funny and quite accessible biography of Herriman, though by the time you're three pages into the vast Krazy Kat kollection in the second half of the book, you'll be wishing like crazy they'd just filled the whole thing up with strips.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Kraziest love triangle ever, 23 Jun 1999
By A Customer
Utterly insane, surreal stuff. Krazy Kat (who is usually female but is sometimes apparently male) is in love with Ignatz Mouse. Ignatz loathes Krazy, and to prove it konstantly kreases that kats krown with a brick. Krazy sees this as proof of his affection, and falls even more deeply in love. Officer Pup, who is in love with Krazy, frequently throws Ignatz into jail for hitting Krazy, which causes Krazy to pine for her would-be lover. This is merely the barest sketch of this weird and wild world.

We are now in the midst of end of the century lists. Although largely forgotten now, Krazy Kat has to merit serious consideration as the finest cartoon strip of the century. Certainly it is the richest. These strips stand up to rereading far more than anyother of which I know.
