Publisher Marketing: One could argue the claim -- confidently, persuasively, and with an all-but-inexhaustible store of ever-fresh evidence -- that George Herriman was one of the very great artists, in any medium, of the 20th century.--Michael Chabon, Pulitzer Prize-winning author of The Amazing Adventures of Kavalier and Clay Review Quotes : Does the strip deserve its reputation? Frankly, yes.-- "The London Observer" Publisher Marketing : In this volume: What profound insights can Krazy glean from an art exhibit of the old masters? What happens when Krazy applies for a job as a debt collector and discovers the biggest debtor is Ignatz? What's with all the balloons? And volcanos? Why is a giraffe wandering lost in the desert? Where will the unending travels of Mr. Bum Bill Bee take him? These are just some of the questions that are beside the point in this collection of the hauntingly surreal, yet amazingly tender/violent adventures of Krazy Kat, Ignatz, and Offisa Pup.
