HEY! KIDS! COMICS! : Whole Lotta Herriman : July 15th, 2008
I make it no secret that George Herriman is my favorite artist of all time… Herriman’s Krazy Kat I think is the greatest artwork ever made in any medium.
This has been probably the best week ever for finding Herriman reprints online.
First of all Allan Holtz at the Stripper’s Guide brought us his latest Herriman Saturday, as he does every Saturday… these posts feature an ongoing complete reprinting of early, early political and other cartoons from the Los Angeles Examiner by Herriman.
Next our friends at Barnacle Press (easily the best place to read ancient comics online) posted numerous examples of two early, extremely rare Herriman strips, Major Ozone’s Fresh Air Crusade and The Two Jolly Jackies. Note in the earliest Ozone strip presented from 1904, we already have a very familiar looking Kat inhabiting the bottom of the strip (a preview of which is pictured above).
Barnacle Press also pointed us to The Ignatz Archive, an online smörgåsbord of a whole bunch of rare early Herriman strips!
To top things off, I Love Comix printed a great Krazy Kat Sunday and Mark Kausler ran another wonderful bunch of Krazy Kat dailies (which he has been doing for some time now).
I can’t wait to have the time to read all these treasures!

Crumbling Paper: Little Sammy Sneeze (strip #2)
Here’s an example I scanned from October 2nd, 1904 of Little Sammy Sneeze by Winsor McCay.

Click here to read more about Little Sammy Sneeze at Don Markstein’s Toonopedia.
There are too many McCay books for me to reference here… we live in wondrous times. Here is a link to the amazing McCay books from Sunday Press printed and restored at full size… big enough to be used as a blunt object. They recently did a Little Sammy Sneeze book that oh boy I gotta have someday, which also includes a lot of examples of two other marvelous strips that were printed on the backs of the Sammy Sneeze strips… The Upside-Downs by Gustave Verbeek and J.P. Benson’s Woozlebeasts.
