Original Cartoon Art - George Harriman (1880-1944) - Krazy Kat And Ignatz Mouse - Full Color

George Harriman's Krazy Kat ran from 1913 until 1944, the year that Herriman died. a black cat named Krazy loves a white mouse named Ignatz, who throws bricks at Krazy’s head. Krazy interprets the bricks as “love letters.” Meanwhile, a police-officer dog, Offisa Pup, tries to protect Krazy, with whom he is smitten. The structure of the strip was built on reversals: a cat loves a mouse, a dog protects a feline, and, at a time when anti-miscegenation laws held sway in most of the United States, a black animal yearns for a white one. Fascinating stuff!
