Something about Krazy Kat makes me feel woefully inarticulate. It's like I’ve been given two minutes to draw a picture of a sunset, and all I have is a black crayon. There's something so poetic, so artful, so *right* about Herriman’s work that mere words fail to do it justice. Suffice to say, it lives up to its legend. George Herriman was there when comic strips were in their infancy, and he helped to shape them and to expand the boundaries of what was possible on the comics page. In addition to an overflowing bounty of choice daily and Sunday Krazy Kats, there is a wealth of biographical detail about Herriman himself, including samples of his other strips, like The Family Upstairs and Baron Bean.Herriman had a knack for artistic layouts. His Sunday pages were a symphony of form and color. Combine that with a playful, expressive line, and an almost jazz approach to language and idiom … suffice to say that Krazy Kat was truly one of a kind. These pages remain as fresh and vivid as the day they were drawn.Needless to say, Krazy Kat is always highly, highly recommended!
