Description
by George Herriman The Kat Who Walked In Beauty collects many rare and unique dailies from the 1910s and 1920s. 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. This nine-month stretch of dailies, never-before-reprinted, is among the treasures included in show more this collection. 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. show lessTags

An entire encyclopedia could be written about Herriman's clever humor. Subtle and not-so-subtle jabs at the historical social and political hierarchy are evident throughout the book. White the complex relationship between Krazy Kat and Ignatz often leave the reader feeling confused, the comic's ability to ignite critical thought is delightful! If you struggle with poor sight, I would highly recommend using a magnifying device so as to make sure you don't miss a clever word!
