Krazy Kat Program Builder

This promotional poster advertises an animated series based on George Herriman's groundbreaking comic strip *Krazy Kat*, which debuted in newspapers in 1910. The strip revolutionized sequential art through its innovative use of panels, speech balloons, and recurring characters—visual techniques that became the foundation of modern comics. Herriman's anarchic humor and experimental panel layouts influenced generations of cartoonists. The 1927 animation, produced by Charles B. Mintz and animated by Ben Harrison and Manny Gould, brought the strip's surreal world to the screen. The stacked letter blocks spelling "PROGRAM" showcase the period's playful graphic design, while the stylized feline protagonist captures the character's manic energy that made the strip a cultural phenomenon.
