This is the greatest of all cartoon strips and the www has many examples
of George Herriman's work. KRAZY KAT lasted from 1913 until the 1940's. Krazy Kat......... loves Ignatz Mouse...
But Ignatz rejects all of
Krazy's advances. Ignatz has a very negative attitude towards
Offissa
Pupp...
This love triangle is played out against the surrealistic setting of Coconino County, Arizona in the Grand Canyon. The landscape morphs into ever changing patterns...this physical transmutation underpins a sophisticated allegory that Herriman inserts into the lives of these three characters.

A WARNING FROM
ROBERT CRUMB ----------->
...the dumb constable. He tries to protect her by attempting to
catch Ignatz at his various "criminal activities" and throw him in jail.
