Krazy Kat


 

Krazy Kat was a comic strip created by George Herriman, appearing in weekday and Sunday U.S. newspapers published by William Randolph Hearst. It grew from an earlier comic strip of Herriman's, The Dingbat Family, which had started in 1910. Herriman would complete the cartoons about the Dingbats, and finding himself with time left over from his 8-hour day, filled the bottom of the strip with the slapstick antics of a cat and a mouse. This "basement strip" grew into something much larger than the original cartoon, and became a Sunday-only cartoon on April 23, 1916, and before long also a daily strip. In 1935, the strip began to be printed in color. Herriman continued to draw Krazy Kat until his death in 1944.
