SynopsisThe illustrations in this book have been gathered from several different sources. A brief explanation should help the reader to better understand and enjoy them. In comic-strip terminology there are 'Sunday pages' and 'dailies.' The Krazy Kat Sunday pages in black and white, consisting of pen and ink drawings, each measuring approximately 20 by 17 inches, have almost all been reproduced from the original artwork. Relatively large, Herriman's drawings are skillfully rendered with a strength and clarity which give them an energetic presence.
This is a very informative and beautifully put together book for anyone interested in the early days of comic strips. The art is compelling and the historical and biographical text is illuminating. Highly recommended.
