12
13	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. 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; papers that did carry the strip typically retained it because it was a favorite of ''Journal'' publisher William Randolph Hearst.
14
15	The story revolves around the gnomic and innocent 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.
16
17	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 Calvin'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.
18
19	Partially owing to its low circulation, 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.''
20
21	There have been several animated adaptations of ''Krazy Kat'' made; none of them came very close to the source material, however -- aside from maybe [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9tMlMi4OJUo this one.]] ''Krazy Kat'' also achieved the unusual distinction of being adapted into a jazz ballet by John Alden Carpenter.
22	----
23
24	!! This komik strip provided examples of:
25
26	%%* AccessoryWearingCartoonAnimal: Krazy, by virtue of his scarf.
27	* AllAnimalsAreDogs: In one strip, Krazy wonders whether an "engles worm" is shaking his head or wagging his tail; the worm chases the Kat off-panel, growling. Then there's the dogfish, who acts like a dog, complete with AnimalJingoism toward Krazy's cousin Krazy Katfish.
28	%%* AllGirlsWantBadBoys: Assuming Krazy is female in today's outing.
29	%%* AlliterativeName
30	* AllJustADream: An episode in which Ignatz steals Krazy's balloon and floats away on it; Krazy pursues him until the balloon finally bursts, at which point the Kat wakes up and is relieved to find Ignatz sleeping peacefully nearby.
31	* AmazingTechnicolorWildlife: In the color strips, Krazy is dark blue, and Ignatz and Officer Pupp are pink.
32	* AmbiguousGender: Krazy Kat.
33	** In the 1916-1921 animated series Krazy was portrayed as male in some shorts, female in others.
34	** In the 1925-1940 animated series Krazy was portrayed as male.
35	** In the 1963 animated series Krazy was portrayed as female.
36	* AnimalJingoism: Averted like "Krazy" with the main LoveTriangle -- a dog who loves a cat who loves a mouse. Played straight with Ignatz's hatred of Krazy, although he's the aggressor (and a FriendlyEnemy). [[LampshadeHanging Lampshaded]] in a strip where Krazy suffers from a regression to normal cat behavior and tries to eat Ignatz. And to top it all off, the "catfish" and "dogfish" are portrayed as natural enemies.
37	%% * AnimalsLackAttributes
38	* AntagonistInMourning: In one Sunday strip, Krazy falls down a waterfall, and Ignatz cheers in delight. Krazy spends the rest of the strip on an underwater adventure with his "cousin" Krazy Katfish. Toward the end, we see Ignatz mourning what he believes to be the untimely loss of his enemy, sobbing into a handkerchief and lamenting the "cruel" way he treated Krazy. (This doesn't stop him from snapping out of it and smashing Krazy with a brick as soon as the Kat announces his presence.)
39	* AnthropomorphicShift: Krazy first appeared in "The Dingbat Family" as a rather ordinary looking pet cat. Eventually, Ignatz appeared and the two gradually became a comedy team until they got their own strip, free from the confinement of human ownership.
40	%% * AntiquatedLinguistics
41	%% * AsianSpeekeeEngrish: Mock Duck.
42	* BeautifulDreamer: Any time Krazy catches Ignatz sleeping.
43	* BerserkButton: Bum Bill Bee does not like the construction of fake flowers that are indistinguishable from real ones, as Ignatz learns to his cost.
44	* BilingualBonus:
45	** Spanish texts are everywhere and Spanish dialogue.
46	** In one strip involving Officer Pup and Krazy alternately popping up behind a wall, the poster on the wall is constantly changing, but it's always something in Spanish. It should be noted that in one frame where Ignatz sees Krazy, the poster reads "Ratón Muerto"[[labelnote: es]] "Dead Mouse" [[/labelnote]] with an image of a ''ratón muerto'' on it.
47	* BlackComedy: Occasionally.
48	-->'''Krazy:''' Poor ole Joe Yelp.
49	-->'''Ignatz:''' What's the matter with him?
50	-->'''Krazy:''' He touched a trolley wire to see if it would kill him.
51	-->'''Ignatz:''' Did he find out?
52	--> '''Krazy:''' No -- it killed him before he could.
53	* BlatantLies: Occasionally, Ignatz's tossing of the brick [[RelaxOVision is censored]] with a line like [[http://www.comicstriplibrary.org/display/422 the following]]:
54	--> ''Rather than taint our "art" with the smirch of undignified pictorialism we draw the curtain of propriety -- we deal as ever in naught but "gentle humor."''
55	* BodyguardCrush: Officer Pupp's crush on Krazy seems to spring from his constant need to defend the Kat.
56	* BoringButPractical: One strip had Krazy telling Door Mouse how impractical it is carrying a door all the time. However, he / she fails to notice the practical uses the door has while babbling at length about how it doesn't have any, including its use as a makeshift bridge, or to fling back a brick thrown by Ignatz.
57	* BreakoutCharacter: Ignatz and Krazy developed as a space filling gag in Herriman's earlier strip ''ComicStrip/TheFamilyUpstairs.'' As far as minor characters go, Gooseberry Sprig was the main character in another earlier strip of Herriman's, ''Gooseberry Sprig.''
58	* CantUnhearIt: Make that "Kan't Unread It." Switching out the hard-C for the letter K in the strip is such a signature move that the editors of this very page did the same.
59	* CatConcerto: [[LampshadeHanging Lampshaded]] in the narration of one strip, wherein the full moon [[FurryReminder irresistibly compels Krazy to sing]], and he's pelted with a rolling-pin, a shoe, a clock, an iron and finally...[[ForegoneConclusion no points for guessing]].
60	-->''The moon is full to-night - as it has been many a night in the past, and we trust it will be many a night to come. Which may or may not interest you - However. With a back alley fence. And a "Kat" - it seems the world's greatest trio in harmonics be gathered together in fervent discord''
61	* CatsHaveNineLives: Occasionally referenced with regard to Krazy. In one cartoon, we find out that he has three of his lives insured --"When I get rich I'll ensure the other six."
62	%% * ChineseLaunderer: Mock Duck.
63	%% * {{Cloudcuckooland}}: Kokonino Kounty.
64	%% * {{{Cloudcuckoolander}} Krazy Kat.
65	* CoincidentalDodge: A RunningGag -- Krazy would bend down to talk to a smaller creature, such as a "woim," just as the brick was thrown.
66	* ColdTurkeysAreEverywhere: In the 1918 New Year's strip, Ignatz makes a resolution to stop throwing bricks at Krazy. He soon encounters bricks (and references to bricks) everywhere he goes, and when Krazy flat out ''hands'' him a brick, it's too much and he pulls some quick LoopholeAbuse. He didn't swear not to throw ''stones,'' did he?
67	%% * ComicallyMissingThePoint: Krazy, constantly.
68	* ConArtist: These happen through Kokonino now and then and, of course, Krazy buys their tales and their goods.
69	* DatingCatwoman: Krazy regards Ignatz as both an "[[FriendlyEnemy enemy]]" and a lover, and sees no discrepancy between the two.
70	* DepartmentOfRedundancyDepartment: A frequent feature of the narration.
71	-->''[[ShapedLikeItself "Krazy" moans & sighs a bit, as is the custom of they who moan & sigh]].''
72	* DeliveryStork: Joe Stork delivers all the babies; Krazy has been known to follow him when he's making his deliveries in order to be first to congratulate the parents. This partially accounts for the strip's lack of clear gender; at one point Krazy loudly "breaks up" with Ignatz as the stork walks by, explaining afterwards that he / she doesn't want Joe to take their relationship the wrong way. (Interestingly, the creator experimented with drawing Krazy as female and pregnant before he decided that the Kat should be a "sprite," neither a he or a she.)
73	* DemotedToExtra: Gooseberry Sprig used to have his own strip.
74	%% * DepartmentOfRedundancyDepartment: Fairly often.
75	%% * DramaticIrony
76	* DistaffCounterpart: In the theatrical shorts from Columbia Pictures, Krazy had a Minnie Mouse-esque girlfriend named Kitty.
77	* DroppedABridgeOnHim:
78	** In the very last strip, [[spoiler: Krazy drowns.]]
79	** This is a popular reading of that strip, but at his death, Herriman had more unfinished strips in progress in which [[spoiler: Krazy is very much alive.]]
80	* DudeShesLikeInAComa: Krazy has kissed Ignatz in his sleep several times. [[AwLookTheyReallyDoLoveEachOther To which he has responded positively, despite being unaware of what happened.]]
81	-->'''Ignatz:''' I dreamed an angel kissed me...
82	%%* DumbassHasAPoint: Now and then, Ignatz has to admit that Krazy is right.
83	* EnemyMine: A 1930 story ark (in a comic that has very few such things), one Kiskidee Kuku comes to Kokonino and begins to successfully woo Krazy. Ignatz, and Pupp become briefly brotherly in their mutual dislike of the interloper.
84	%% * ExposedAnimalBellybutton
85	* FriendlyEnemy: Ignatz and Krazy, to each other.
86	--> '''Austridge:''' I will also ask the audience, has it a "enemy"?
87	--> '''Krazy:''' Yizza, I have, but oh he's such a sweet li'l "enemy" - he's so nice -
88	* FunetikAksent:
89	** Krazy's extremely thick Brooklyn/New Orleans accent.
90	** Krazy's accent [[UsefulNotes/AmericanAccents is meant to be the "yat" accent of New Orleans]], an accent that Krazy's creator would have come into contact with and probably spoke. It sounds a lot like a Brooklyn accent, thanks largely to a very similar blend of ethnicities having settled in the area.
91	* FunnyBackgroundEvent: Frequent. In fact, Ignatz and Krazy themselves started out as a funny background event; see "Breakout Kharakter" above.
92	* FurIsClothing: [[LampshadeHanging Lampshaded]] in one strip: Krazy claims to have a "netural sense of modesty", being "complitly clothed in a garmint of fur", and regards Ignatz as "nude" because he doesn't have fur himself.
93	* FurryReminder: In [[http://www.comicstriplibrary.org/display/16 this strip]], Krazy arches her back, fluffs up her tail and hisses when she sees two coconuts and briefly mistakes them for enemies.
94	* GenderBender:
95	** Krazy Kat. Needless to say, a raging inversion of [[TertiarySexualCharacteristics Tertiary Sexual Kharakteristiks]] as well.
96	** Reportedly, Herriman regarded Pupp, Kat, and Mouse as being "pixies" who had neither sex nor gender, feeling that such issues were rather outside the sensibilities of the strip.
97	* GenerationXerox: This whole "brick-tossing" thing apparently started in ancient Egypt, when the "noble Roman rodent" Marcantonni Mouse and the "siren of the Nile", Kleopatra Kat, were in love. Marcantonni Mouse didn't know how to express his feelings, so he got someone to chisel a love poem on a brick and threw it at her while she was daydreaming. The rest, as they say, is history.
98	* GoldDigger: In one comic, Ignatz finds out that Krazy's aunt and uncle are planning to leave Krazy all their money. Suddenly he's very interested in Krazy, [[SerenadeYourLover serenading the cat]] and bringing candy and poetry. Krazy senses that something is off and is relieved when Ignatz, finding out that the money isn't going to Krazy after all, goes back to his usual brick-throwing.
99	* GRatedDrug:
100	** Tiger Tea. It makes a worm believe it is an anaconda.
101	** Even more shockingly, it gives Krazy self-confidence. Suddenly he/she is no longer passively taking bricks to the head, and instead takes the initiative, grabbing Ignatz by the tail and dragging him away.
102	*** Herriman so enjoyed Tiger Tea's personality-altering characteristics that he extended the storyline to last nearly a year, making it the longest story in the strip's history.
103	* HaveAGayOldTime: In [[http://www.comicstriplibrary.org/display/151 this strip]], Krazy refers to "making love" in the gloaming time (aka 'courting in the evening').
104	* HighOnCatnip: Due to prohibition, Krazy and his fellow cats have to eat "near catnip", which doesn't have the same "kick".
105	%% * {{Hobos}}: Bum-Bill-Bee, and Krazy at times.
106	%% * HorribleJudgeOfCharacter: Krazy.
107	* ICantBelieveItsNotHeroin: Cheese. When the mice have a "Fromage Festival" it turns into a full-on cheese riot, and Krazy wakes up hungover and promptly signs up at Temperance Headquarters.
108	--> '''Krazy:''' Nevva again -
109	* InNameOnly: The "Krazy Kat" cartoon shorts by Bill Nolan and Charles Mintz. Nolan, who had formerly worked at the Pat Sullivan studio, turned Krazy into a WesternAnimation/FelixTheCat {{Expy}}, while Mintz made him reminiscent of WesternAnimation/MickeyMouse and gave him a dog and a girlfriend!
110	%% * InterspeciesRomance
111	* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Ignatz has shown numerous times that [[AwLookTheyReallyDoLoveEachOther he really does care about Krazy]]; now and then, he even tries to help the Kat out (only to have his intentions misinterpreted by the ever-vigilant Officer Pupp).
112	* LawOfInverseFertility: Several strips concern the wealthy Mr. [=VanWagg=]-Taylor, who desperately wants an heir but whose intended children keep getting delivered to the Widow Pelona, already the mother of many, due to stork mishap. There's some fun innuendo in the way Mrs. [=VanWagg=]-Taylor reacts to seeing said widow with a child that clearly resembles her own husband.
113	* LiteralAssKicking: In at least one strip, Ignatz, not having a brick on hand, just goes right ahead and kicks Krazy's rear.
114	* LimitedAnimation: The 1916-1921 animated series. And the 1963 one, for [[UsefulNotes/TheDarkAgeOfAnimation entirely different reasons]].
115	* LovableCoward: Krazy's stint as a "kop" (when Officer Pupp is bedridden) only lasts until he heads off to apprehend a pair of suspects who turn out to be a hippopotamus and a rhinoceros.
116	--> ''"I dunt wunt no silva star upon my nobil chess--''
117	--> ''I dunt wunt no club, or cap, brass buttons is nothing but a pest''
118	--> ''Fo-r-r-r-r - I'd ratha be a 'Kat' a-live,''
119	--> ''Instead of a "Kop" what ain't -"''
120	* LoveAtFirstPunch:
121	** Ignatz's repeated abuse of Krazy only deepens Krazy's love.
122	** By later in the strip (c. 1940), Ignatz seems to be in on the gag; aware that Krazy enjoys the bricks, perfectly fine with that, and willingly making dates with her just so a brick can be tossed. Really makes you wonder...
123	%%* LoveTriangle:
124	%%** Offisa Pupp -> Krazy Kat -> Ignatz Mouse
125	%%** Rearrange the characters and you have a ''Hate'' Triangle: Pupp -> Ignatz -> Krazy
126	%% * {{Malaproper}}: Krazy Kat
127	%%* MediumAwareness : http://www.comicstriplibrary.org/display/877
128	%%* MundaneMadeAwesome: Constantly.
129	* MyInstinctsAreShowing: One comic sees Krazy's cat reflexes being triggered, causing him to pursue Ignatz in [[AnimalJingoism more the way you'd expect]].
130	* NameAndName: When this strip was first becoming distinct from ''ComicStrip/TheFamilyUpstairs'', it was called ''Krazy Kat and Ignatz''.
131	* NoMoreForMe: Ignatz goes home and smashes his bottle of whiskey after apparently being confronted by three of Krazy Kat swimming in a lake (in fact Krazy and his cousins Krazy Katbird and Krazy Katfish).
132	* OhCrap: Ignatz' expression when he realizes he's beaned Officer Pupp by mistake.
133	* OurGhostsAreDifferent: In one strip, Krazy terrifies Ignatz by vowing to haunt him when he dies. "And ''ree-mem-ba-!!!!!'' [[CatsHaveNineLives I've got nine "ghosts"]]."
134	* PetTheDog: Ignatz has the occasional moment with Krazy, to which circumstances sometimes conspire to make his attempted kindness appear to Pupp to be [[NotWhatItLooksLike another attempt to toss a brick]].
135	* PoliceAreUseless: Sure, Officer Pupp always throws Ignatz in jail, but he rarely intercepts him before the damage is done. (Not that Krazy cares.)
136	* PolicemanDog: Officer Pupp, the canine lawman of Kokonino Kounty.
137	%% * ThePollyanna: Krazy.
138	%%* PredatorPreyFriendship: Krazy and Ignatz.
139	* RelaxOVision: Any time the brick toss is censored for the sake of "gentle humor".
140	* SelectiveObliviousness: Krazy thinks Ignatz's bricks to the head are a sign of love, and that Officer Pupp is just "playing tag" with Ignatz when he throws him in jail.
141	* SerenadeYourLover: Herriman was fond of this trope, using mandolin music and poetry beneath the balcony as shorthand for romance in general.
142	* SleepCute: Used many times with Krazy and Ignatz, and at least once with Ignatz and Officer Pupp! (With Krazy sleeping near them, they'd both been pretending to sleep, each hoping the other would go away, until finally the Kat up and left--at which point they shrugged their shoulders and went to sleep for real.)
143	* SophisticatedAsHell: All over the narration and dialogue.
144	--> '''Ignatz:''' There is yet ample time in which you can keep your date with "Krazy," hence, might I not suggest that you tarry a while, and cull from this bonny blossom a bit of the sweet honey which lies within its chalice -- so generous a gift would please "Krazy" much, for he hath indeed a sweet tooth -
145	--> '''Bum Bill Bee:''' Hm-m- It is a pretty notion, Mr. Mouse, and I'll be dawgoned if I don't take thee at thy word -
146	%% * SpeciesSurname
147	* SpeechBubbles: In one strip, Krazy walks away and leaves his speech bubble behind; Ignatz notices, runs after him and ties it to his tail.
148	* SuddenDownerEnding: [[spoiler: Some interpret the final strip as depicting Krazy drowning to death with both Officer Pupp and Ignatz crying over his still body.]]
149	* SuddenlySpeaking: Whether Walter Cephas Austridge is able to speak plain English or merely say "Geevim, geevim" (meaning different things, depending on context) varies.
150	* SynchronizedSwarming: In one strip, fireflies write "Illekk Krezy Ket" (it's for an election).
151	* UnwantedRescue: The attempts of Officer Pupp and others to prevent Ignatz from throwing his brick at Krazy tend to leave Krazy despondent when they do succeed.
152	* UptownGirl: When [[GenerationXerox Krazy's ancient Egyptian ancestor fell in love with Ignatz's roman predecessor]], her servants mourned that "Egypt's pride should give her heart to so low a menial as a mouse".
153	* TheVamp: The duck in the robin's tale of why he flies south for the winter. Krazy also thinks of Pauline Pullet as such.
154	--> "How riggle - how kwinly - how statuary - ah-h-h - But with all your beauty - proud vemp - you can't lure me from "Ignatz" - To he, I am for evva true -"
155	* VerbalTic: The narration loves to add the words "yizzaboy" and "tobeeshur" to emphasize whatever points it makes.
156	* VitriolicBestBuds: Krazy and Ignatz, constantly making dates so they can carry out their usual brick shtick.
157	%% * WalkingTheEarth: Bum-Bill-Bee.
158	* WeirdMoon: The strip tends to show crescent moons. With a 3D-like representation.
159	* WeWantOurJerkBack: Krazy's reaction when circumstances contrive to stem the tide of Ignatz's brick-throwing, or otherwise make him a more traditional wooer.
160	* XtremeKoolLetterz: Probably the UrExample. Notice ''our'' usage of the letter "K" throughout this page? The strip never used the letter "C" for anything. It's almost like a proto-''Franchise/MortalKombat'' in its dedication to this trope.
161	* YellowPeril: Thoroughly subverted in a 1920 strip, where Ignatz thinks that the Mokk Dukk and another Chinese waterbird are supposedly colluding in some nefarious scheme, and he wants a piece of the action. Turns out it's just related to the Mokk Dukk's business, and Ignatz is disappointed.
162	%%* YouDirtyRat:
163	%%** {{Inverted\|Trope}} with Ignatz Mouse.
164	%%** Played straight with [[AddedAlliterativeAppeal Roger Roquefort the "Robber Rat" and his band of reckless rodents]].
165
166	!!The 1963 AnimatedAdaptation provides examples of:
167	%%* AllJustADream: "Big and Little", "Odd for Art's Sake".
168	%% * AmazingTechnicolorWildlife
169	* BornLucky: Krazy, to a ridiculous extent, in one episode. She even explains her luck by saying, "I guess I'm just born lucky."
170	* CollectorOfTheStrange: Ignatz, of bizarre bricks from all over the world.
171	* ConspicuousConsumption: Parodied in "Keeping Up with Krazy". Kolin Kelly, to whom Ignatz has sold a new house and two cars, thinks Krazy is trying to compete with him when she sits outside under an umbrella with a pair of roller skates. When she picks herself a flower, Kolin gets himself a garden, and so on.
172	%%* CutAndPasteSuburb: At the end of "Keeping Up with Krazy", Ignatz builds one out of ''umbrellas.''
173	%% * ElmuhFuddSyndwome: Krazy.
174	%% * {{Facepalm}}: Ignatz does this sometimes.
175	* EarlyInstallmentWeirdness: In the first three shorts, Krazy looked much closer to her comic strip counterpart. Ignatz had a different-sounding voice in the first two shorts.
176	%%* HallOfMirrors
177	%% * HeelRealization: Ignatz gets one in "Monument to a Mouse", though it [[StatusQuoIsGod doesn't last]].
178	* IWillWaitForYou: At the end of "Network Nitwit", Krazy stands outside the prison, cooing, "Do not despair, my darling! I will wait for you foreva and a day!" When Ignatz complains, Krazy reveals that [[spoiler:she's actually talking to [[LoveAtFirstPunch the guy from the network who threw a brick at her earlier in the episode]] and has now been konfined to the opposite cell]].
179	%% * LimitedAnimation
180	%% * LovePotion
181	* MyGodWhatHaveIDone: Ignatz, in a power-crazed moment, puts Krazy in a pair of CementShoes, gets her to sign her "[[BornLucky luck]]" away to him, then pushes her underwater...only to suddenly have this reaction and make a frantic dive to save her.
182	--> "I must have been insane!"
183	* OverlyNarrowSuperlative: The episode "Stoned Through the Ages" shows Ignatz's first ancestor collecting fig leaves in the Garden of Eden. When he declares himself to be the "richest mouse on earth", the serpent shows up and reminds him that he's the only mouse on Earth.
184	* PaletteSwap: Many Krazy's relatives are recolors of her.
185	%%* PinkGirlBlueBoy: {{Inverted\|Trope}} with Ignatz and Krazy.
186	%%* PygmalionPlot: "[[Theatre/MyFairLady My Fair]] Ignatz".
187	%%* StalkerShrine: Krazy has one to Ignatz.
188	* TrueLovesKiss: In one episode, Krazy tries to kiss Ignatz awake: "I will waken my sleeping prince just like in the fairy tales, with a tenda kiss."
189	* WhereTheHellIsSpringfield: Averted. The short "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kAdn_dscOZY Keeping Up With Krazy]]" establishes Kokonino Kounty is in Idaho.
190	** On the other, the close-up of Krazy's and Ignatz's credit cards in "Mouse Blanche" has Kokonino being located in Illinois.
191	* WhoWouldWantToWatchUs: Kokonino Kounty is going bankrupt and Ignatz suggests that they sell a cartoon about themselves to television. Officer Pupp laughs it off, only for Ignatz to throw a brick at him and say "Go ahead and laugh! They laughed at Al Brodax too!" (Brodax being the show's executive producer.)
192	* WorthlessYellowRocks: Krazy's reaction to finding a cache of paper money:
193	--> "Ooh, more pictures of presidents for my collection! ...Oh, phooey, Thomas Jeffason. I already got him!"
