Three more years of the greatest comic strip of all, with special bonus features.
As Fantagraphicsâ€™ ambitious plan to reprint every single Sunday Krazy Kat page created by George Herriman for close to three decades (this being the penultimate book) careens toward the finish line, this volume features another three yearsâ€™ worth of Sunday stripsâ€•over 150 little masterpieces by the greatest cartoonist of all time, featuring the greatest comic-strip love tri- angle of all time: â€œkat,â€ â€œmiceâ€ and â€œpupp.â€ Each page is a hilarious, poetic masterpiece crackling with verbal wit and graphic brilliance. Those were the days...!

In the introductory essay, editor Bill Blackbeard chronicles Krazy Katâ€™s ascent from its earliest days as a tiny pendant for Herrimanâ€™s earlier strips â€œThe Dingbat Familyâ€ and â€œThe Family upstairsâ€ to its own full feature. A second major article in this volume is Bob Callahanâ€™s â€œGeo. Herrimanâ€™s Los Angeles,â€ a fascinating look at Herrimanâ€™s pre-Krazy Kat days as a journalist/illustrator, covering such things as a Mexican bullfight (Herriman was appalled), the opening of a new â€œbumsâ€™ jailâ€ (Herrimanâ€™s sympathies were clearly with the vagrants), and UFO sightingsâ€•all accompanied by Herrimanâ€™s virtuoso cartoons, of course.

As usual, the cover is designed by Chris Ware, featuring a striking two-color look that will set this latest volume apart from the previous eleven. 176 pages of black-and-white cartoons and other illustrations
