How George Herriman's genious reverberates in comics until today
By summer of 1912, when George Herriman introduced Krazy Kat and Ingraz
Mouse as a doodle on long forgotten strip called "The Dingbat Family",
the comic business and artform was already a mature media that, that
along with the newsprint revolution, allowed the comics to reach
unprecedented market penetration of the public. Cartoonist where not
just famous in the era before the movies had taken hold, before the
radio, and when vaudeville was the only common entertainment available,
but they were becoming wealthy and in high demand. At this point, the
creative juices of these artists was put on full display and they were
given a wide berth to experiment, each news paper syndication looking
for the next major hit. The craze became so intoxicating that the
publishers themselves started to get into the action, often willing to
give space to scripts that might not be the most popular, if the
publisher themselves found themselves affectionate for a script. Comics
were becoming a serious art form, and not everyone noticed.
