Synopsis
The premise is simple: a black cat loves scheming a white mouse who incessantly throws bricks at the cat's head, which police dog Officer Pupp, secretly harboring a passionate love for the cat, tries to prevent. George Herriman endlessly plays with the above formula in his legendary newspaper strip Krazy Kat , published from 1913 until his death in 1944. Through his wit, detailed characterization, and visual-verbal creativity, Herriman introduced even the least comically-inclined to the young medium; Gertrude Stein, F. Scott Fitzgerald, Pablo Picasso, James Joyce, US President Woodrow Wilson, Jackson Pollock, Charlie Chaplin, Frank Capra, P.G. Wodehouse, Willem de Kooning--all KK fans among many others. It was thanks to media tycoon William Randolph Hearst, a confirmed fan who gave Herriman carte blanche in his newspapers, that the artist was allowed to freely explore countless absurd and melancholy variations on the theme of unrequited love for years on end. Herriman unabashedly took advantage of this, radically exploring the medium's potential and pushing all of its formal boundaries; readers had to put up with surreal, Dadaist sceneries, a language that whirled slang, neologisms, phonetic spelling, and scholarly references, and diffuse gender roles--making Krazy Kat probably the first gender-fluid star in comic history. This volume presents all Krazy Kat color stories from 1935-1944 and a detailed introduction by comic expert Alexander Braun, who illuminates Herriman's multi-ethnic background and reveals what makes this timeless work of art about a queer cat so extraordinary., A complete facsimile of George Herriman's Krazy Kat Sunday pages in color 1935-44. One of the first comics to be considered a work of art, Krazy Kat delights readers with its characterization, visual-verbal creativity, and the slapstick shenanigans between Krazy and Ignatz Mouse. This book comes with an illustrated introduction by Alexander Braun., The premise is simple: a black cat loves scheming a white mouse who incessantly throws bricks at the cat's head, which police dog Officer Pupp, secretly harboring a passionate love for the cat, tries to prevent.

- b***b (26)- Feedback left by buyer.Past 6 monthsVerified purchaseGood communication. Fair pricing. Fast shipping, though the box was a bit on the thin side and one that I have never seen before (two piece box), the item was more protected than I thought it was when I took the top layer of bubble wrap off. I would have preferred more styrofoam padding around the outside of the box but luckily the newspaper and bubble wrap kept it safe enough that there was no damage in transit. Item as described. Happy overall and would buy from this seller againDepartment 56 'Twas The Night Before Christmas Hoof and Ladder Fire Station'2003 (#405443768164)
- e***5 (57)- Feedback left by buyer.Past 6 monthsVerified purchaseWell, the part shipped was not the part listed. It was actually a more expensive Allen-Bradley drive, but not one that I could use. The seller took it back no problems once I communicated the error. A good seller in spite of the issue.
