Krazy Kat — New York Herald, January 15, 1922
This page from the *New York Herald*'s music and culture section carries small portrait photographs of performers alongside dense columns of concert listings and criticism — no comic strip is visible in this image. The catalog note identifies this as a *Krazy Kat* Sunday page, but the scan shown is the Herald's Music, Opera and Concerts page, featuring coverage of Chaliapin, the Philharmonic, and soprano Emma Calvé. George Herriman's *Krazy Kat* (1913–1944) — with its love triangle of Kat, Ignatz Mouse, and Offissa Pupp, its morphing Coconino County landscape, and its brick-as-endearment gag — ran in Hearst papers and helped define the Sunday comics page as a space for sustained artistic invention.
