I know so many people I rate &quot;cool&quot; who revere the man. I have not given up. I will try again after a respite. -- MykalMykalhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12148489896145024134noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6028911836649669351.post-48907978904932963092010-01-15T13:21:25.103-05:002010-01-15T13:21:25.103-05:00It seems as though none of you are Herriman fans. I am, and this is TERRIBLE. It&#39;s just TERRIBLE. Sorry, it just IS.

Every now and then, in very small doses, I like it. Or occasionally one of his oddball lines will strike me cool. But overall? I just can&#39;t get on board. Like Lysdexicuss, it sort of gives me the wim wams. all the characters were either soul-less or sickly needy. I try and try, but just don&#39;t get it. And I know I risk my membership in the great order of comics lovers, but I never thought it was that well drawn except on a conceptual, perspective sort of level (his buildings in open spaces were pretty cool). <br /><br />I much prefer the kids comic that my man Karswell has supplied us! Now <i>that&#39;s</i> cool and so well drawn!! -- MykalMykalhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12148489896145024134noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6028911836649669351.post-80742824157058112922010-01-06T23:56:41.089-05:002010-01-06T23:56:41.089-05:00It seems strange that there were issues of a Krazy Kat comic book...didn&#39;t the strip end in 1944 or thereabouts? It never was in very many papers, but was reputed to be a favorite of William Randolph Hearst, so stayed on in the King Features catalogue.<br /><br />When I read this issue as a kid I hadn&#39;t yet seen the original Krazy Kat but I liked the oddball desert drawings. <br /><br />I&#39;m not a big Herriman Krazy Kat fan, not like some folks are, but I get a perverse pleasure from the sick masochistic relationship of Krazy to Ignatz, and the emotional masochism of Offisa Pupp&#39;s unrequited love. Some strange things may have been going on in Herriman&#39;s life, no doubt.Pappyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01977289662431694607noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6028911836649669351.post-16087088116728937172010-01-06T00:59:06.240-05:002010-01-06T00:59:06.240-05:00&gt;can&#39;t wait to see what Karswell sends me next!<br /><br />Something slightly haunted, no doubt!

There was something horribly spacious in the orginal Harriman - sort of like some nightmarish limbo. Leave it to Karswell! Of course, the art and style is much warmer in this dell comic, which I really like. -- Mykal <br /><br />R/E: I thought the Baron von Bat character fantastic! Dell took a few liberties, but I love this comic a great deal - I can&#39;t wait to see what Karswell sends me next! -- MykalMykalhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12148489896145024134noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6028911836649669351.post-9289019075265631792010-01-05T21:06:52.934-05:002010-01-05T21:06:52.934-05:00Mykal, these are wonderful; not Herriman (but what is?) but still fun and appropriate for mass market comics books that Dell put out. I&#39;ve always loved Ignatz the most of the trio, so the first story is my favorite. That Baron von Bat is a great character. But, Hey! Why is Ignatz wearing a black skirt? Who&#39;s he think he is?

Perfect that it comes from Karswell.
