[Krazy Kat & Ignatz Mouse]

[feotakahari]

Is this even a secret, or just common knowledge?

Slightly OT: this is why I ditched on the unauthorized Krazy Kat novel. It consistently genders Krazy as female to comment on gender roles and stereotypes, and Krazy is not female--at least, not exactly. The most appropriate pronoun might actually be "fae" (and fuck me for admitting that "fae" can ever be useful as a pronoun.)

There was an unauthorized Krazy Kat novel?

Where?

[feotakahari]

http://www.nytimes.com/1988/01/24/books/refusing-to-be-a-pussycat.html I found it in The Literary Guillotine, which basically sells books for navel-gazing hipsters. For comparison, one of the books I decided against buying was a parody of really snooty anthologies, containing stories by and critical analysis regarding a fictitious South American movement of Neo-Nazi authors. Supposedly, it shows how ridiculous a lot of literary analysis is by applying the same techniques to stories that in no way deserve to be analyzed. One of the books I did buy was some self-referential crap about gay vampires and AIDS.

Actually, as far as I know, Krazy Kat was supposed to be female.

[feotakahari]

George Herriman described the character as "something like a sprite, an elf. They have no sex."

[erinptah]

The comic is full of examples of people/the narration using male pronouns for Krazy. I can see the character being agender, and a cartoonist in the 1920s just didn't have the pronoun dexterity to express it, but there's really no way to get from there to "female."

There's a Krazy Kat fandom? Cool. Where do I throw my brick?

[(Anonymous)]

I'm slightly more in the Offisa Pup/Krazy Kat camp than the Krazy/Ignatz, but the point stands regardless. Also, yaaay, "Krazy Kat" fandom!

[(Anonymous)]

They were canon. Little hearts flying out all over the place.

Christ, George Herriman. The brass artistic balls on that man.

I love you so much for making a Krazy Kat & Ignatz Mouse secret. I can't even.
