Comic Strip Day

OK, here's the deal. Other than Your Weekly Rush, which I might push till tomorrow, I am going to spend the day reviewing the history of the comic strip from my perspective.

Starting with old Krazy Kat. Krazy Kat is hard to understand (for me anyway), but Herriman played with layout in a way that is still pretty exciting. And the pathology of Krazy and Ignatz (Short version, Krazy loves Ignantz, who then throws a brick at her, and she loves him more) is still fascinating.



We always hurt the ones we love. For some reason that never made too much sense to me.
