''KRAZY KAT'': HIGHBROW BURLESQUE
1986
Overview
Simply put, ''Krazy Kat'' is the triangular love story of a cat (Krazy), a mouse (Ignatz) and a dog (Officer Pupp). Krazy, a saintly cat of indeterminate gender, is in love with Ignatz, an unsentimental egotist. Krazy says of him: ''S'no use with a 'Romeo' like 'Ignatz.' I'm a heppy, heppy 'Julius.' '' Ignatz, who despises all cats, derives pleasure from ''beaning that Kat's noodle'' with a brick, an obsessive act he attempts to perform every day. Krazy, blind with love, awaits each brick from the ''l'il ainjil'' with joy, considering the hurled bricks ''missils of affection.'' Officer Pupp, unrelenting enforcer of law and order, seeks to protect ''that dear Kat'' from ''sin's most sinister symbol,'' Ignatz's brick. A triple dose of irony transformed every strip into, in e.e. cummings's words, a ''meteoric burlesque melodrama.''
