Krazy Sunday

Illustration House offers this original art for a Krazy Kat Sunday strip in its December sale. At first I thought the estimate was on the high side, but many Krazy Kat Sunday pages have indeed been selling in this range and higher. Krazy Kat may never have been the most popular strip, but many aficionados consider George Herriman to be the greatest of 20th century cartoonists. Leaping legumes!
