The story revolves around the title character and his/her (gender is never set, and strips often switch between the two, sometimes in the middle of one comic) obsessive love with the downright evil Ignatz Mouse, who hates Krazy and loves nothing more than to throw bricks at his/her head. Krazy being, well, crazy, takes this as a sign of love. In the meanwhile, Krazy Kat is actually loved by, of all things, a ''dog'' -- Offissa Bull Pupp, a police officer who is ever vigilant of Krazy and makes it his life purpose to prevent Ignatz from throwing bricks at all, hauling him off to jail when he's caught in the act.

One of the classic newspaper comics of the early 20th century, ''Krazy Kat'' was published in the ''New York Evening Journal'' from 1913 to 1944. It was written and drawn by George Herriman and exhibited surreal, American Southwest-themed artwork, often focusing on aesthetics over humor. This caused the strip to alienate much of its audience; it only remained in the newspaper as long as it did because it was a favorite of ''Journal'' publisher William Randolph Hearst.

Resultantly, the strip was taken up by increasingly few newspapers (appearing in only a small handful by the mid-1930s) and never acquired a mainstream audience; it only remained in papers that did carry the newspaper as long as strip typically retained it did because it was a favorite of ''Journal'' publisher William Randolph Hearst.

Collections of ''Krazy Kat'' comics were notoriously difficult to find for many years, and the first few serious attempts at complete collections were scuttled by the publishers going under. Finally, in the 2000s and 2010s, Fantagraphics managed to release a complete series of Sunday strip collections, ''Krazy & Ignatz.''

While the comic never caught on with a mainstream audience, it remains an influence to cartoonists to this day; Bill Watterson of ''ComicStrip/CalvinAndHobbes'' fame cites it as a major influence and featured Kalvin's parents admiring a Krazy Kat strip in a museum in one Sunday strip. Even before then, Ignatz himself went on to be a MauveShirt in the Mort Walker / Jeff Dumas vehicle, ''ComicStrip/SamsStrip'' in the 1960s.
