<B>George Herriman - Krazy Kat Sunday Comic Strip Original Art, dated 12-27-31 (King Features Syndicate, 1931).</B></I> This typically kooky <I>Krazy Kat</B></I> Sunday features a major character in every panel, including Krazy Kat, Ignatz, and Officer Pup, plus an appearance by the Jail House, surely a character in itself! To top it off, this page has a "brick" gag as well! All this, plus a song by Ignatz, all adds up to one incredible page for <I>Krazy Kat</B></I> fans. These characters and situations are what made Herriman's Kokonino County sparkle! This Sunday page is dated December 27, 1931. It's night at the beginning and the end of the story -- that's Herriman's method of balancing the art, which works to perfection in this example. <I>Krazy Kat</B></I> stands tall as one of the most inventive comic strips in American history. Herriman used language as poetry, and there was tremendous visual innovation in each panel. <I>Krazy Kat</B></I> last appeared 60 years ago, and remains a strip with respected, worldwide popularity. This piece measures 21" x 17.5", and is in Excellent condition. <BR><BR><B>Important notice:</B> Heritage usually auctions material at the rate of 200-250 lots per hour. On some occasions eBay Live bid software or the Internet may not be able to keep up with the pace of the auction. We recommend placing a realistic absentee bid now as insurance to avoid disappointment. Occasionally the auctioneer may eliminate or reject an eBay Live bid, and the auctioneer may also reopen a lot after the close of the eBay live bidding (usually because we missed an audience bid), and may reject your bid even if it shows you as the winning bidder. By bidding via eBay Live, you agree that Heritage may award the lot to another bidder at its sole discretion under the circumstances described above or any other reasonable circumstances. Since eBay bids are not shown to us until we open the lot on the floor, we treat those bids just like floor bids. In most cases the floor responds before the eBay bid is presented to us, due to Internet lag time, so for consistency we have made it a policy that floor bids are always considered first over tie eBay live bids. Also please note that all Heritage lots purchased through eBay Live carry a 20% Buyer's Premium. Please make sure you read the Terms and Conditions before you bid.
