| Description | Four-panel cartoon shows Offissa Pupp congratulating Mrs. Kwakk Wakk, a duck, on her suggestion to Krazy Kat that he take Ignatz, the mouse along on his vacation to keep him company. When Pupp expresses surprise that Krazy would take the mouse, Mrs. Kwakk Wakk explains that the mouse took Krazy. Krazy Kat featured a classic triangle: Krazy Kat in love with Ignatz Mouse who not only rejected his affection, but threw a brick at Krazy whenever he got the chance, and a dog, Offissa Pup, who made it his mission to throw Ignatz in jail whenever he hurled a brick. Drawn from 1910 to 1944 by George Herriman, it was cherished by a distinguished group of people including E.E. Cummings, H.L. Mencken, Jack Kerouac, and William Randolph Hearst (who insisted that his syndicate continue to publish it even though it had little wide-spread appeal). |
