Trio of faves and Herriman
"An immediate progenitor of the Beat Generation and its roots could be traced back to the glee of America, the honesty of America, its wild, self-believing individuality"
~ Kerouac referring to Herriman's Krazy Cat Comic
I just discovered Frank Capra also enjoyed Krazy Cat. So Krazy Cat, Kerouac and Capra, a trio of faves.
I have always loved George Herriman's style of drawing. There is something about it always makes me think of restraint though.
