George Herriman. Krazy Kat. The Complete Color Sundays 1935–1944

George Herriman, 2025

Overview

This volume collects the complete color Sunday strips of George Herriman's legendary comic, Krazy Kat, spanning from 1935 to 1944. The strip's premise centers on a cat's affection for a mouse, who retaliates by throwing bricks, all while a police dog, Officer Pupp, harbors a secret love for the cat. Herriman masterfully explored variations on this theme, pushing the boundaries of the comic medium. His work featured surreal imagery, a unique language blending slang and scholarly references, and fluid gender roles, making Krazy Kat a pioneering gender-fluid character.
