Today is August 22nd, the birthday of one of the greatest American cartoonists George Herriman. In this episode, we will cast a critical lens on Krazy Kat’s aestheticism and defining techniques that distinguish itself  as a work of art. We suggest people to get the  primary text of George Herriman’s Krazy Kat’s collections, which can be accessed through the links included in the description of this episode. On top of that, we highly recommend McDonnell, O’Connell and De Havenon’s coedited book (MOD for future reference)— Their book is titled Krazy Kat: The Comic Art of George Herriman, which serves as our secondary text.
