It seems that he found the glue in the binding to be a tasty treat and he devoured a good chunk of it. Sadly, this book was destroyed one day when my dog decided to eat it. Now, take this conflict, set it in the strange landscape of Coconino County, sprinkle in some other minor characters, add some long-running storylines that go beyond the main conflict, and you have a great comic strip.
However, Krazy loves to get hit in the head with a brick by Ignatz, seeing the abusive attention as a sign of affection. Krazy, the Kat, is caught in the middle of a bizarre love triangle between Ignatz, the mouse who terrorizes Krazy by throwing bricks at her, and Offissa Pupp, the police dog who feels the need to protect Krazy and arrest Ignatz. It was also with this book that I discovered George Herriman's surreal Krazy Kat. The early Fleischer cartoons, however, kept Segar's wit and art quality intact (and sometimes used revolutionary animation techniques, such as in Popeye the Sailor Meets Ali Baba's Forty Thieves). In comparison to these tales, the cartoons made in the 1960's were trite and poorly drawn. Segar's early Popeye comics from the Thimble Theater days. I used to pore over this book quite a bit as a kid. Comics like Nemo were so rich in fine details that are hard to appreciate or discern when printed in 8 1/2" x 11" format. The large pages allow for great classics like Little Nemo in Slumberland to be printed almost as big as they were originally. This book is a massive sampling of newspaper comics from The Yellow Kid to modern days (well, about 1977 anyway).
