Some classic comic strip history, here, with this George Herriman original: This is the last-ever Krazy Kat Sunday strip (dated 6-25-44) (King Features Syndicate, 1944). Herriman's final visit with the denizens of Coconino, with Ignatz the Mouse, Krazy Kat, and Offisa Pup,

A sample of Krazy Kat title panels by George Herriman, 1936. All of these were taken from George Herriman’s Krazy Kat: The Complete Color Sundays 1935–1944 published by Taschen. I always wondered why Herriman included quotes and/or a period.

E. E. Cummings and Krazy Kat

by Amber Medland

The Kat had a cult following among the modernists. For Joyce, Fitzgerald, Stein, and Picasso, all of whose work fed on playful energies similar to those unleashed in the strip, he had a double appeal, in being commercially nonviable and carrying the reek of authenticity in seeming to belong to mass culture. By the thirties, strips like Blondie were appearing daily in roughly a thousand newspapers; Krazy appeared in only thirty-five. The Kat was one of those niche-but-not-really phenomena, a darling of critics and artists alike, even after it stopped appearing in newspapers. Since then: Umberto Eco called Herriman’s work “raw poetry”; Kerouac claimed the Kat as “the immediate progenitor” of the beats; Stan Lee (Spider-Man) went with “genius”; Herriman was revered by Charles Schulz and Theodor Geisel alike. But Krazy Kat was never popular. The strip began as a sideline for Herriman, who had been making a name for himself as a cartoonist since 1902. It ran in “the waste space,” literally underfoot the characters of his more conventional 1910 comic strip The Dingbat Family, published in William Randolph Hearst’s New York Evening Journal. Hearst gave Herriman a rare lifetime contract and, with his backing, by 1913 the liminal kreatures had their own strip. Most people disliked not being able to understand it. Soon advertisers worried that formerly loyal readers would skip the strips and miss the ads. Editors were infuriated by devices like Herriman’s “intermission” panel, which disrupted the narrative by stalling the action.

[ID: Vintage newspaper excerpt reading:

You know Krazy Kat, don’t you—that classic of the comic ”strip” created by George Herriman, wherein the traditional relations between cat and mouse are reversed, and Krazy, he of indeterminate gender, is perpetually being beaned with a brick by Ignatz Mouse? It is of what might be called the internicine school or humour: either you are pro-Kat, and pity the antis, or you are anti-Kat and conspuez les pros! It’s like Alice in Wonderland or French oysters: you worship or you loathe.
