Krazy Kat Daily Strip, 1921

George Herriman's *Krazy Kat* appears here in a commercial calendar, a common use of newspaper comic strips in the early twentieth century. The six-panel sequence shows the cat's typical routine: pressing a button, triggering mechanical chaos, and slapstick consequences. Herriman's loose, expressive line work and minimal backgrounds define the strip's visual language. *Krazy Kat* ran daily and Sunday from 1913 to 1944, establishing recurring characters and visual gags across multiple installments—a structure that became foundational to comic strips and later comic books. Newspapers syndicated such strips nationally, making them America's first mass-produced sequential art form and direct precursor to the comic book industry.
