Yo! I introduced the ‘Krazy Kat‘ komic to you yesterday. Here’s another one to wet your whistle with some odd facts about the strip.

Krazy has no specified gender and has been referred to as both male and female throughout the life of the strip. Ignatz the mouse and Officer Pupp have generally been konsidered male.

Strangely koincidental, it was for a while unknown of kartoonist George Herriman’s race. He was a New Orleans Creole man from two mixed-race parents. But during the racially ignorant first half of the 20th century, people just didn’t know what to make of him.

Today’s komic strip from 2-1-1922 features Ignatz working as an insurance agent. That’s not really his job but he’s writing a policy for the sake of another brick-tossing zinger.
