One doesn't see too many of these! Here is original 1922 Sunday comic strip artwork for Krazy Kat by the peerless George Herriman, hand-colored and dedicated to Hollywood composer Victor Young. Herriman had a poetic streak himself. "Night comes and under the red tape tree a villain slumbers while a moral moon unwillingly blankets him with a mantle of purity." It really doesn't get better than this!
Note: There is a lot more Krazy Kat on the blog here. Don't miss it.

Under no circumstances will I write about the government's partial shut-down, not when my previous remarks on the debt ceiling and sequestration have been completely ignored by our so-called leaders. You can read what I had to say here.
