The Family Upstairs

Krazy Kat got started as a featurette in George Herriman's comic strip The Family Upstairs. 
The Dingbat Family would appear upstairs, while Krazy Kat had a separate comic strip
in the basement, so to speak. This original comic strip art, c. 1912, is from last Saturday's auction
at Illustration House.
