Krazy is a comic strip created by American cartoonist and animator George Herriman. It first appeared in the New York Evening Journal on October 24, 1913, and was later syndicated in newspapers across the United States. The strip follows the adventures of Krazy Kat, a cat who lives in a surreal world populated by anthropomorphic animals. Krazy Kat is often accompanied by Ignatz Mouse, who tries to throw bricks at Krazy, and Offisa Pupp, a dog who tries to protect Krazy from Ignatz's bricks. The strip is known for its poetic dialogue, its fantastic imagery, and its exploration of philosophical themes.
