Video: Krazy Kat

Here's an animated short that the good people at Cartoon Snap! have posted today. It captures the Herriman look, for sure.



Big hat tip to Cartoon Snap!

Very skillful, but it's a little like one of those Viewmaster reels come to life. I prefer my pen & ink on the page, thanks.

I wonder iwhat would happen if Herriman tried selling Krazy Kat today...

"It's a strip about a cat who gets off on being hit with a brick, taking it as a sign of affection from a mouse who hates him/her (it varies), all the while Offisa Pupp, an authority figure is in love with him/her..."

Jack! Yes! It sure does look like a Viewmaster reel.

Brian, if Hearst likes your strip, you're in. And Hearst liked KK, as you know, and never cared how many papers bought it. I've heard that KK never appeared in any more than 3 dozen papers during its run.
