Watterson himself said without Krazy Kay there could have been no C&H. Krazy Kat comes closer to reaching high art status than any other comic. C&H take their place as the last Great American Newspaper Comic.

Not that anon but I just took a picture of this blurb I read for the first time over fifteen years ago in my 10th anniversary collection. Still haven't gotten around to checking out Krazy Kat myself.

Of course they’re lit. They’re in my bookcase.

I’ve only read a few in a some collection years ago. Very weird and idiosyncratic, as he says. The cat mouse and bulldog are supposed to be (or can be taken as) a love triangle, like Olive Oil, Popeye and Bluto. Too weird and not funny enough for me to buy at the time
But I did pick up the collected Little Nemo, another Watterson fav

No problem. I don't think I've read this stuff in over a decade, so it's nice to revisit. I'm amazed at the quality of Watterson's prose. There's some short blurbs scattered throughout this collection, so I might post a few more as I see fit, but no promises.
