...Seldes stirred a sensation with his The Seven Lively Arts, in which he argued that Charlie Chaplin, Al Jolson, Fanny Brice, jazz, the circus and burlesque had it all over the Barrymores, the Metropolitan Opera or the works of Cecil B. DeMille. Indeed, he made a case that Krazy Kat, the comic strip, was the most satisfactory work of art then produced in America-all of which enraged serious critics of the day and titillated Seldes' many fans...
...tell an adult love story, an unusually acute and sometimes vitriolic account of the way two lovers destroy each other. The Bed Sitting Room carries reminders of both the other films and of other styles. Indeed, it shows its lineage proudly: a little Marx Brothers, settings out of Krazy Kat, a lot of The Goon Show (altogether appropriate, since the co-author of the original play, Spike Milligan, was one of the show's originators). Yet it is indisputably a Lester film, a product of a passionate, painful comic vision that is helping to establish him, more and more...

For four of them, she wore Exhibit J, a pair of transparent red panties; in the remaining four, she wore only her gold sandals for the full topless-bottomless effect.

George Herriman's great comic strip of the twenties wasn't centered around a philosophy of life, either. Its fantasy world was akin to Crumb's: the hopeless romantic (Krazy Kat), the skeptic who rejects her love (Ignatz Mouse), and, above both, the defender of society and justice (Offisa...
...drawing style of "Head Comix" is much more polished than that of "Krazy Kat," though. While Herriman's characters were often somewhat shakily drawn, Crumb's drawings are all well finished products. The style of the strips is a combination of the old Disney style (you may begin counting of the fingers), Herriman's style in "Krazy Kat," Popeye, the old Looney Tunes, Smokey Stover, and Crumb's own additions...
