Incredibly Rare George Herriman Original “Krazy Kat” Sunday Strip

Original George Herriman “Krazy Kat” Sunday strip in pen and ink on stiff paper, dated 16 May 1943. “Krazy Kat” first appeared in 1913 in William Randolph Hearst’s newspaper, the “New York Evening Journal.” The comic strip, which was set in Coconino County, Arizona, where Herriman had a vacation home, mixed Herriman’s native Creole dialect with alliterative and rhyming word play, absurdist humor, social commentary and a recurring motif of a mouse who throws a brick at a cat. The strip became a favorite of Hearst, who furnished Herriman with a lifetime contract and insisted that the strip run in all of his papers. In this 20-panel Sunday strip, Ignatz Mouse is on trial for brick throwing. The scales of justice are manipulated as Ignatz hires Hoot Zoot Soot, the Mesmeric Marvel, to hypnotize the judge to rule in Ignatz’s favor. After Ignatz is free, and is extorted by Hoot Zoot to pay an additional fee, he attempts to unsuccessfully hypnotize the brickmaker, Kolin Kelly, into giving him a brick. Herriman appends the strip at the bottom horizontal panel showing a hypnotized Ignatz attempting to throw a brick at Krazy. Strip, measuring 16.5″ x 25″, has minor soiling along edges, the number “64” written in blue pencil at top left and is framed to an overall size of 19.25″ x 27.75″. Very good condition overall. A fine example of Herriman’s work. Sold for $9,500.
