'Krazy Kat' comic creator's work had faith
2017
Overview
Time magazine called the creator of the popular \"Krazy Kat\" comic strip \"a figure of almost Franciscan sweetness.\" \"In addition to hearing folktales and stories from literature in French, the family participated in every sacrament available to them,\" said Tisserand, whose book was nominated for the National Book Critics Circle Award and PEN America Award. Herriman and his brother attended St. Vincent's College, a boys' elementary and high school run by Vincentian priests. In an early cartoon before he started drawing \"Krazy Kat,\" Herriman ridiculed a controversy raging then: whether movie footage of a black boxer annihilating a white one would cause unrest if shown in theaters. Time magazine's comparison of Herriman to St. Francis of Assisi is apt, given that the \"Krazy Kat\" strip is devoted to animals - a lovable black cat, a mouse and a dog policeman named Officer Pupp. [...]Herriman's first comic strip was \"a series of Aesop's fables that he rewrote with happy endings.\"
