''Krazy Kat'' cartoon by George Herriman from 2 February 1933. Krazy Kat depicts the unlikely love triangle of a cat, a mouse and a dog: Krazy Kat, Ignatz Mouse and Officer Bull Pupp. Krazy Kat's naive, unrequited love for Ignatz is consistently and unceremoniously rewarded by bricks hurled to the back of his head, thrown by the cantankerous mouse. Officer Bull Pupp does his best to protect Krazy Kat, whom he not so secretly loves from Ignatz' relentless brick attacks. This 2 February 1933 hand-drawn daily strip features Krazy Kat trying to impress Ignatz by ordering ''elegint eats'' in ''French''. The plan is spoiled when Officer Bull Pupp, serving as a waiter, returns from the kitchen with a much more down home interpretation of the order. With a distinctly Southwestern visual style, Krazy Kat has long been a favorite of comic fans and notables such as William Randolph Hearst, Jack Kerouac and Pablo Picasso. Strip measures 21'' x 6''. Pinholes to corners, otherwise near fine. From the estate of ''Blondie'' creator Chic Young.
