Description:
George Herriman Last-Ever Krazy Kat Sunday Comic Strip Original Art dated 6-25-44 (King Features Syndicate, 1944). In the sparse landscape of Coconino County, Offisa Pup dives into action to rescue Krazy in this final Krazy Kat Sunday by George Herriman. A fitting finale to a legendary strip, this is Herriman's final visit with the denizens of Coconino, and it contains images of Ignatz, Krazy and Offisa Pup. The art has an image area of 14.5" x 22" and it is in Very Good condition.

Herriman, George:(American, 1880-1944) was the creator of the critically acclaimed Krazy Kat comic strip feature. He was born in a light-skinned, Creole African-American family in New Orleans, Louisiana. Herriman's father moved the family to Los Angeles in order to avoid the onerous restrictions of Jim Crow laws in Louisiana. Many of Herriman's newspaper colleagues had the mistaken impression that Herriman's ancestry was Greek, and according to close friends of Herriman, he wore a hat at all times so as to hide his hair. His other earlier newspaper comic strips include Musical Mose, Professor Otto and His Auto, Major Ozone's Fresh Air Crusade, Gooseberry Sprigg, and The Family Upstairs/The Dingbat Family. Herriman also illustrated writer Don Marquis' popular stories and poems featuring the whimsical cockroach and cat, archie and mehitabel. Herriman’s timeless Krazy Kat strips and specialty drawings have hung in museums, been the subject of academic treatises, and appeared on a US postage stamp.
