(W) George Herriman (A/CA) George Herriman
by George Herriman
This, the third color volume in Fantagraphics'
Krazy & Ignatz reprint series, includes all the Sunday strips from 1941 and 1942, with most of these strips not having seen print since originally running in Hearst newspapers over 70 years ago.
Krazy Kat is a love story, focusing on the relationships of its three main characters: Krazy Kat, Ignatz Mouse, and Offisa Pup. Critic Jeet Heer contributes an essay about the friendship between Herriman and John and Louisa Wetherill, who ran a trading post in Monument Valley where Herriman often visited. It was through the Wetherills that Herriman absorbed much of his knowledge about Native American culture, specifically Navajo, which made its way into
Krazy Kat.
