  Kat Section

  Krazy Kat ran from the first decade of the 20th c. thru the 40s. According to my 1998 KK wall calender, it is widely considered the best comic strip ever. A number of modernists and intelectuals were big fans, and the strip itself engaged questions of indeterninancy in gender, landscape, and signification. Academics have been slow to pick up on Krazy, but I'm anticipating an explosion, especially with queer studies. out.
