7/4/2023 0 Comments Krazy Kat In Song And Dance (Slipcased Edition Including Dvd) by George HerrimanBraun provides a good record of what happened after he moved on from his pre-Krazy art: around 1916, after working some years as an illustrator, Herriman suddenly hit upon the idea for this strip, and continued it until he died.Īs far as I can tell, Krazy Kat never developed narratively or psychologically - it didn’t need to for it was perfect from the start. There’s no record of his inner life, apart from Krazy. As a newspaperman he covered boxing matches that sometimes set Black men against Whites, and he himself appeared in blackface in minstrel shows. Modest, shy, and fond of giving away drawings, he resisted explaining his strip. In New York and then in LA he had a lively social life, with many friends in the Hollywood film world. New Orleans-born, Herriman was partly Black, but never revealed this. George Herriman, “Krazy Kat” (Sunday, July 27, 1941)
