	George Herriman - Don Markstein's Toonopedia
		As a young man, George Joseph Herriman was short and slim, a snappy dresser, known to his cartoonist compatriots as "The Greek" (which by some accounts was short for "Greek God" but by others was because they figured his forebears probably came from somewhere in that neighborhood).
		Herriman hadn't been there long before he started selling his work to Judge magazine, which also published cartoons by artists as diverse, and as eminent, as Carl Barks (Uncle Scrooge) and James Montgomery Flagg (Uncle Sam), as well as Herriman's long-time friend, Thomas A. "Tad" Dorgan (Indoor Sports).
		George Herriman's Krazy Kat work has since hung in museums, been the subject of academic treatises, been reprinted in prestigious tomes, and even appeared on a U.S. postage stamp.

	Krazy Kat: The Comic Art of George Herriman
		The dawning of a new century coincided almost exactly with the birth of a new mass-market medium for the communication of artistic expression and the beginning of George Herriman’s artistic career working within that medium, which, for lack of a better name, has come to be known as comics.
		Herriman proved himself adept at all three and early on caught the attention of what was perhaps the most important eyes of all, those of William Randolph Hearst, the powerful newspaper magnate upon whom Orson Welles based the title character of his landmark film, Citizen Kane.
		While Herriman was to leave and/or be lured away from Hearst papers on numerous occasions during the first decade of his career, he eventually settled with the newspaper syndicate controlled by Hearst, whose patronage was to ultimately prove crucial to Krazy’s longevity.

	AmericanHeritage.com / KRAZY KAT a love story
		Herriman, fully aware that King Features was not getting sufficient revenue from the strip to justify his $750-a-week salary, volunteered to take a salary cut.
		Biographical material on Herriman is sparse and none of it offers much of an insight into the man who created America’s most surreal comic strip.
		It is Herriman’s pen, with its thick and thin line and its unmechanical, emotional crosshatching, that turns Krazy Kat into a cartoon counterpart of expressionism.

	Dreamers Rise: An Open Notebook
		George Herriman was born in New Orleans on 22 August 1880.
		Unlike Morton, Herriman left the city at an early age (probably around six), when his parents moved on to Los Angeles, possibly in search of an environment in which the family's ambiguous racial status wouldn't be quite such an issue.
		Herriman stayed in Los Angeles three years, then left for New York City, where the art of the newspaper cartoon was having its first great flowering.

	George Herrmiman's Krazy Kat
		Herriman couched his assertions about the socially-constructed nature of categories like race and gender, as well as categories such as class, age, ethnicity, and occupation, so deeply in the sophisticated allegory of his comic strip, however, that few readers noticed them.
		Herriman elicits the misrecognition of a landscape that is a city in order to bring to light the everyday misrecognition of the city for a landscape.
		The urbanites of Herriman's Coconino, nearly all children of immigrants if not immigrants themselves, try continually to shake off old ethnic identities that are wrapped up in homespun culture and the working class, in an attempt to embrace a new, bourgeois, mechanically reproduced culture.

	read yourself RAW - Profile: George Herriman
		This simple premise sustained Krazy Kat for over 30 years, with George Herriman playing out endless variations on the same theme in a continually evolving and organic comic, using ever changing formats and layouts, set within surreal and ever-shifting desert landscapes.
		But to immerse yourself in Krazy Kat, to yield to Herriman's looping verbal rhythms and lovingly depicted desert background, to experience his perfectly realised triptych of unspoken and unconsummated love, yields a very, very different result.
		Herriman's creation is not only great comics, with a wonderful command of the medium's possibilities and strengths, but it is also great art - an affecting exploration of some of life's most basic issues in a way that enlightens and thrills."

		The whimsical music you're hearing is from John Alden Carpenter's ballet "Krazy Kat," that was inspired by George Herriman's comic strip, Krazy Kat, which first appeared in 1913.
		Herriman's graphic and verbal dance, for decades across the pages of the Hearst newspapers, had a pervasive influence on those who created comics and animated cartoons, from Walt Disney and Walt Kelly, to such recent masters of the comic strip as Peanuts' Charles Schultz and Calvin and Hobbes' Bill Watterson.
		George Herriman began writing "Krazy Kat" when full page comics were the norm for newspapers trying to gain new readers.

	The Triangle - Krazy Kat - George Herriman
		Herriman sent the money back, saying he didn't think he was worth what the syndicate was already paying him.
		When I taught cartooning in public schools I knew the names of some of the prominent women cartoonists in history and brought this to the attention of girls who were drawing Mr Donut.
		Minorities don't identify with cartoons, due to past stereotyping in the cartoon profession, but minority kids were impressed when I told them one the pioneer greats, George Herriman, was an African-American.

	TIME.com: Among the Unlimitless Etha -- May 8, 1944 -- Page 1
		George Herriman, 63, creator of the sovereign comic strip, Krazy Kat, died after a long illness.
		In Herriman's 30-odd years of work — always wearing his hat and usually improvising fresh from the pen — he must have drawn something like 1,500 full-page Kats and 10,000 strips.
		Wrote Critic Gilbert Seldes of Herriman's work 20 years ago: "In the second order of the world's art it is superbly first rate — and a delight!" Delight was Herriman's strongest point in a world where most artists had lost it.

	Krazy & Ignatz
		Offisa Pup loved Krazy and sought to protect "her" (Herriman always maintained that Krazy was genderless), mostly by throwing Ignatz in jail.
		Each of the characters was ignorant of the others’ true motivations, and this simple structure allowed Herriman to build entire worlds of meaning into the actions, building thematic depth and sweeping his readers up by the looping verbal rhythms of Krazy and Co.’s unique dialogue.
		Gorgeous cartoons are augmented by rare photos of Herriman, rare art (including a strip by Popeye creator E.C. Segar which uses Herriman's stork to announce the birth of his child), and the usual stunning design work by Ware.

		This was the plot of nearly every episode, but the beauty was in the variations Herriman could work on it and in his delirious sense of style.
		Herriman manipulates this formula over and over again into something fresh, each strip becoming a little funnier because of readers' familiarity with the strange relationships among the characters.
		Herriman's style changes so dramatically throughout his tenure on Krazy Kat, that this can only give you a very incomplete impression of his work and, truthfully, I can't say very much for this particular impression.

	George Herriman Biography
		An undefinable amalgam of drama, humor, poetry line, tone and color, the cartoon feature was created by GEORGE HERRIMAN (1880-1944) published from 1916 to 1944.
		Its plot line was a skewed triangle: the central "Krazy Kat" of ambiguous gender, in love with "Ignatz" mouse, who did not return the compliment but retaliated with a thrown brick, and "Offissa Pup", the constable who ineffectually tried to protect "Krazy" from the brick by remanding Ignatz in jail.

		In 1971, 27 years after Herriman's death, sociologist Arthur Asa Berger made a startling discovery that cast some light on Herriman's fashion habit.

		While some Herriman buffs remain skeptical of this radical revision of the cartoonist's ethnicity, even those who now accept him as fl are not sure whether the cartoonist can accurately be described as an African-American artist.

	Krazy Kat by George Herriman
		Though many readers are aware of Herriman's dynamic Sunday pages, few know that during 1920, in what must have been an editorially unrestrictive period for Herriman, he drew some of the most graphic and brilliantly conceived daily strips ever created; they look like "mini-Sunday" strips.
		The collection includes many other Herriman gems, including the very first stand-alone Krazy & Ignatz strips from 1911, and the illustrations from Herriman's Krazy Kat Jazz pantomime/ballet, performed to captivated New York audiences in 1922.
		George Herriman was one of the "greats" in the world of comic strips, and Krazy Kat is his greatest strip.
