History Trivia / KrazyKat

* ReferencedBy: Ignatz and Krazy (along with ComicStrip/{{Popeye}}) make a cameo in ''WesternAnimation/TheSpongeBobSquarePantsMovie'' in wall decorations behind [=SpongeBob=] and Patrick when they're gorging themselves on ice cream at the [[KitschyThemedRestaurant Goofy Goober's]].

* WhatCouldHaveBeen: According to a YouTube comment from one of the animators, the 1996 stop-motion short was intended to be part of a cancelled documentary on George Herriman for the BBC.

* KeepCirculatingTheTapes: Averted with the Krazy Kat Fantasmagraphics ColleCtions. However, they have still yet to cover the period in between 1921-1924, and future books from beyond that are seemingly up in the air for now. ''However'', Eclipse Comics ''did'' release collections of the strips from 1920 to 1924 during the 90's, but their final collection which would cover the strips from the year 1925 was unfortunately never published (but one of the hardcover collections covers 1925 so that's OK). So it's safe to say it is entirely possible to collect all of the original strips as of now. Assuming you have cash to burn.

* RealitySubtext: One arc depicts Krazy's black fur being recolored white; Ignatz falls in love with him, but upon discovering that Krazy is actually dark-furred, he responds by attacking him with a brick. Retrospective analysts note parallels with George Herriman's experiences as a mixed-race man (with both Black and white heritage) who presented as white throughout his life, hiding his kinky hair under a hat and claiming that he was ethnically Greek when pressed about it.

* TalkingToHimself: Paul Frees voiced Ignatz and Offisa Pupp.

* [[DiedDuringProduction Died During Produktion]]:
** Herriman died unexpektedly while the strip was still running, so there is no finale or konklusion. Although you kould argue that none would really be possible in this strip...
** Note that while Hearst had used all his klout to keep the strip going during Herriman's lifetime, upon his death Hearst did just the opposite. In an era when replacing a deceased komik strip kreator was the standard industry praktice, Hearst issued an order that no one be allowed to kontinue Krazy Kat and ended the komik with Herriman's death. Reportedly he had auditioned dozens of kartoonists for this eventuality but konkluded that no one kould ever match Herriman's style.
* [[KeepCirculatingTheTapes Keep Cirkulating The Tapes]]: Averted with the Krazy Kat Fantasmagraphiks kollektions mentioned earlier-- however, they have still yet to kover the period in between 1921-1924 (although the upcoming book they've released this November kovers 1919-1920) and future books from beyond that are seemingly up in the air for now. ''However'', Eklipse komiks ''did'' release kollektions of the strips from 1920 to 1924 during the 90's, but their final kollektion which would kover the strips from the year 1925 was unfortunately never published (but one of the hardkover kollektions kovers 1925 so that's OK). So it's safe to say it is entirely possible to kollekt all of the original strips as of now. Assuming you have kash to burn.
