	Krazy Kat Keeps Kracking
		Krazy Kat has a more poetic soul, tending to spend his days mooning around the sagebrush, musing about the beauty of the universe, until he's knocked unconscious by a hurled brick--and takes it as a sign of Ignatz's love.
		Since Krazy Kat is so introspective, the real protagonist is Ignatz the Mouse, always driving the action with his purchasing of bricks, hording of bricks, lying in wait for Krazy Kat, and finding new ways to deliver the missile to the feline cranium.
		Is Herriman a Gandhi-like pacifist and Krazy Kat a Christ-like longsuffering martyr?

	Krazy Kat - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Krazy Kat is a comic strip created by George Herriman that appeared in U.S. newspapers between 1913 and 1944.
		Krazy nurses an unrequited love for the mouse, but Ignatz despises her and constantly schemes to throw a brick at her head; for unknown reasons, Krazy takes this as a sign of affection.
		Krazy's dialogue is a highly stylized argot ("A fowl konspirissy - is it pussible?") phonetically evoking a mixture of English, French, Spanish, Yiddish, and other dialects.

	Krazy Kat
		Krazy Kat was a cartoon strip, appearing in both weekday and sunday US newspapers, created by George Herriman.
		Krazy Kat focussed on the relational triangle of its title character, Krazy Kat a cat of indeterminate gender, Krazy's antagonist and love interest Ignatz Mouse, and Krazy's lover and authority figure, Offica Pupp.
		Bill Watterson has mentioned Krazy Kat as one of his inspirations for his own cartoon series, Calvin and Hobbes.

	[No title]
		Krazy seems to understand that others cannot see the brick as a token of affection, and he ignores even Ignatz' own protestations to the contrary, always utterly confident in his perception of the brick as a signifier of love.
		Krazy is "true" to Ignatz, as he asserts, in spite of the fact that he betrayed Ignatz to the Pupp, for he has restored the order upon which all of them rely.
		Krazy Kat is charmed, as though he has encountered the Don Juan of legend, but he pronounces the name like that of Byron's satirical figure.

	Krazy Kat (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-25)
		Krazy Kat is today, many will confirm, the most strange appearance of a cartoon in the history.
		Krazy Kat is in love with the awful mouse Ignatz, who repeat Krazy Kat's desire to throw a solid brick in her head.
		Some of the strangest is that Krazy take the brick-throwing as a sign for love...and everytime she got struck, she trembles of love.

	George Herrmiman's Krazy Kat
		Krazy seems to understand that others cannot see the brick as a token of affection, and he ignores even Ignatz' own protestations to the contrary; he is always utterly confident in his perception of the brick as a signifier of love.
		Krazy has few, if any, characteristics of the fl stereotype of his time; instead, his flness locates him as a conspicuous outsider, and suggests the naivete of the recent migrant or immigrant capable of illuminating for the reader the pretensions and contradictions in the society Krazy's companions try to create.
		Krazy is a legitimate outlet for Ignatz' violent aggression when the Kat is a fl male, but a fellow white male could not be subjected to that kind of violence, as it would potentially fragment and weaken the network of white male dominance.

	Bill Watterson foreword :: Krazy Kat book
		Krazy Kat is such a pure and completely realized personal vision that the strip's inner mechanism is ultimately as unknowable as George Herriman.
		Ignatz Mouse demonstrates his contempt for Krazy by throwing bricks at her; Krazy reinterprets the bricks as signs of love; and Offissa Pupp is obliged by duty (and regard for Krazy) to thwart and punish Ignatz's "sin," thereby interefering with a process that's satisfying to everyone for all the wrong reasons.
		Krazy Kat was drawn well over half a century ago, and yet it's a much more sophisticated use of the comic strip medium than anything we cartoonists are doing today.

	Krazy & Ignatz
		Krazy Kat is a love story, focusing on the relationship of its three main characters.
		Offisa Pup loved Krazy and sought to protect "her" (Herriman always maintained that Krazy was genderless), mostly by throwing Ignatz in jail.
		Fantagraphics is proud to re-present Krazy Kat to a new generation of readers, collecting what many consider to be Herriman's prime: all 104 full-page, BandW Sunday strips from 1925 and 1926 (Herriman did not incorporate color into the strip until 1935).

	ch15
		KRAZY KAT, the daily comic strip of George Herriman is, to me, the most amusing and fantastic and satisfactory work of art produced in America to-day.
		The qualities of Krazy Kat are irony and fantasy-exactly the same, it would appear, as distinguish The Revolt of the Angels; it is wholly beside the point to indicate a preference for the work of Anatole France, which is in the great line, in the major arts.
		The little figure of Krazy built around the navel, is amazingly adaptable, and Herriman economically makes him express all the emotions with a turn of the hand, a bending of that extraordinary starched bow he wears round the neck, or with a twist of his tail.

	Amazon.de: Krazy Kat: English Books
		The mechanics of Krazy Kat are time-honored anddeceptively simple: there is a cat, a mouse, a dog, and the hurling of a brick.
		Krazy Kat is nothing but variations on a simple theme, so the magic of the strip is not so much in what it says but in how it says it.
		The constraint of Krazy Kat's narrow plot seems to have set free every other aspect of the cartoon to become poetry, and the strip is, to my mind, cartooning at its most pure.

	The College Hill Independent
		From its 1913 debut to its 1944 coda, Krazy Kat enchanted audiences worldwide and elevated the nascent medium of comics to still-unmatched heights of artistic and verbal acuity.
		Despite his vigilance, Ignatz always makes good on his yen to “krease that Kat’s bean with a brick.” And at the center of it all, contemplative Krazy misinterprets both their motives and becomes forlorn when Ignatz’s ineluctable brick (or in Krazy’s eyes, “missil of love, and iffection”) fails to arrive.
		Herriman explained Krazy’s infatuation in one legendary Sunday comic as an outgrowth of the Kats’ “racial history.” He was referring, of course, to “Kleo Kat…Siren of the Nile,” lover of “Marcantonni Maus,” her Roman slave.

	Unlikely Glossary Project - Understanding Krazy Kat (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-25)
		Now, let us begin by recognizing that Krazy Kat speaks something that is, to paraphrase (badly) Douglas Adams (WikiPedia:Douglas_Adams), "almost entirely unlike English," by which I mean that Herriman's attempt to phonetically render a dialect of his own design tend to utterly thwart my attempts to read his comics.
		Of course, Ignatz sees this as the essence of Krazy's Krazy-ness, which of course it is, but we can also see, as Ignatz cannot, that it is the source of Kat's joy and goodness (and she is recognized universally as joyful and good by her fellow non-mouse Coconinoans).
		Kat kisses the sleeping Ignatz, and he dreams of angels, or declares on waking that he dreamt he was kissed by an angel.

		Krazy Kat, his greatest work, occupied him until the end of his life - he even left several unfinished strips on the drawing board - and cemented a place for him in cartoon history.
		While Herriman was born in Louisiana, and spent much of his working life in California, the landscape that set the stage for Krazy Kat was the desert country of Colorado and especially Arizona.
		Krazy is sometimes referred to as 'Mr Kat', other times as 'Miss Kat'.

	AmericanHeritage.com / KRAZY KAT a love story
		Krazy, Ignatz Mouse, Offissa Pupp, and the other residents of Coconino County still seemed as enigmatic as ever, but it didn’t matter now because I had E. Cummings to explain everything.
		Krazy, however, loves having her head creased with a brick thrown by Ignatz, because to Krazy it’s a sign of his love for her.
		Krazy isn’t—therefore, to Offissa Pupp and Ignatz Mouse, Krazy is. But if both our hero and our villain don’t and can’t understand our heroine, each of them can and does misunderstand her differently.

	krazy kat (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-25)
		Krazy Kat, of indeterminate gender and age, was, because of a 'racial memory' of a foiled love affair in ancient Egypt between a noble cat and a slave mouse, perpetually fascinated by her contemporary mouse, Ignatz.
		Mistakenly, the brick hit the Kat on the head, but the effect was identical to a 'coup d'amour', and the Kat recognized at once this act of true love.
		He is as incapable of understanding the subtlety of the mouse-Kat romance now as his ancesters were then, and the conclusion of many Krazy Kat comic strips was a frame showing an incarcerated mouse.

	Jeet Heer, "Krazy Kat reprinted by Fantagraphics"
		Herriman's comic strip Krazy Kat, which ran from 1913 until 1944, is perhaps the best illustration of the mysterious affinity between low and high culture.
		Though Krazy Kat had a repetitive formula of its own, it took place in an absurdist universe that mocked both rebellion and society's rules.
		Remarkably, Krazy Kat is as fresh now as when it first appeared and repays repeated reading as a work of both high and low culture.

		Krazy Kat takes Ignatz’s brick throwing as a sign of the mouse’s love.
		Krazy speaks in an interesting dialect (I’ve read it’s based on that of New Orleans, Herriman’s home town), that often leaves room for punning (instead of “pastimes” he says “pestimes”; finding out he is anemic Krazy believes himself “innimic”).

		Krazy loves Ignatz, who detests Krazy and throws bricks at him or her.

	George Herriman Biography (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-25)
		If ever a comic strip was Art, "Krazy Kat" was its best candidate for that honor.
		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.
		During its existence, it was intellectuals who appreciated the creative complexities that permeated "Krazy Kat", and today's scholars of the subject find ever-renewing appreciation and delight in Herriman's genius.
