Description During Books Krazy and Ignatz, 1925-1926: There is a Heppy Land Furfur A-waay (Krazy and Ignatz)
Fantagraphics is proud to re-present Krazy Kat to a new generation of readers. Each volume in this series reprints two full years of Sunday strips, or 104 full-page, black-and-white Sunday strips (Herriman did not incorporate color into the strip until 1935). Krazy Kat is a love story, focusing on the relationship of its three main characters. Krazy Kat adored Ignatz Mouse. Ignatz Mouse hated Krazy Kat, the expression of which was in throwing bricks at Krazy's head. 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 other's true motivations. This simple structure allowed Herriman to build entire worlds of meaning into the actions, building thematic depth that led critics like Gilbert Seldes and E. E. Cummings to recognize Herriman's genius almost immediately. Each of Fantagraphics' Krazy Ignatz volumes is designed by Chris Ware, creator of the wildly successful ACME Novelty Library series. This beautiful volume includes material never collected before.Define Books Supposing Krazy and Ignatz, 1925-1926: There is a Heppy Land Furfur A-waay (Krazy and Ignatz)

The classic comic series Krazy Kat is introduced to a whole new audience. Krazy Kat is a lovelorn feline who suffers the problem of so many women--no matter how badly her love object (Ignatz the mouse) treats her, she just loves him more. It's obvious how much the modern comic strip Mutts was inspired by this one, what with the scribbly doodle characters and creative use of the English language.Every strip is a work of art. Plan to read all the reprints.
Pup loves Krazy, Krazy loves Ignatz, Ignatz loves hurting others. Funnier than it sounds.
This might not be the exact one I read. But Krazy Kat is great. Even though it is a collection of comic strips, where one of about three things happens (Ignatz throws a brick, Ignatz goes to jail, or Officer Pup does something goofy), each one is well-written, well-drawn, and I love the ambiguity of it all. For anyone who likes comics, this is a good classic to know.
Yes! I am going to toss this beautiful brick at Krazy Kat.
Every book in this series. Herriman you the fucking boss.
