Krazy Kat is my favorite comic and celebrated today with the Ignatz Award. Named in honor of Herriman and the character Ignatz Mouse from Krazy Kat. It is given out for outstanding achievements in small press or creator owned comic projects. It is a brilliant comic, I have most of the Sunday comics which were collected and published in multiple volumes. They're really quite beautiful, his use of line and color, his shifting backgrounds, his dialogue in patois, just everything about it is so damn good.
