In the Krazy Kat strips I've seen, Ignatz is always referred to in the masculine; Offisa Pupp is never referred to in a gender-specific manner; and Krazy, on the rare occasions when that one is referred to in a gender-specific manner, is always referred to in the masculine. I don't recall ever having seen Krazy referred to in the feminine, and it's not as if I haven't looked... — Paul A 00:51 14 Jul 2003 (UTC)
Krazy Kat was clearly female in the King Feature cartoons of the early '60s. - Jtmatbat 08:58 14 Aug 2008 (UTC) —Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.26.47.102 ( talk)
You mentioned the cartoons. 67.172.61.222 was the one who said something about Krazy having no gender. Rick Norwood ( talk) 13:51, 18 August 2008 (UTC)
Herriman himself stated that Krazy was akin to "a sprite, an elf. They have no sex. So that Kat can't be a he or a she. The Kat's a spirit-a pixie- free to butt into anything," when questioned about Krazy's gender, and (s)he is referred to as both male and female in the strip.

Should there be Krazy trivia mentioned here, as on this page?: http://www.krazy.com/current.htm (unsigned)
Excellent article improvement. -- Rick Norwood 19:45, 17 January 2006 (UTC)
Best article on wikipedia what a joke! it doesnt even mention itchy and scratchy from the simpsons is based on it!
I was just thinking about this. It seems like they've poked fun at Krazy Kat & Ignatz once in a while, but I would suspect it's more based on Tom & Jerry overall... but I'll look for confirmation on this and update the article if required. Dormammu 15:47, 7 February 2007 (UTC)
Last time I checked, prefered style was to wikilink terms names at their first appearance, not every time. I notice my unlinking of a few names the second time they appeared as a link has been reverted. Why? Wondering simply, -- Infrogmation 21:44, 17 January 2006 (UTC)
What is the objection to mentioning New Orleans in relation to Krazy's accent/dialect? -- Infrogmation 21:59, 17 January 2006 (UTC)
Actually, the wording used in the cartoon baloons - when pronounced by someone from the New York Metropolitan Area, especially Brooklyn, The Bronx or some parts of Northern New Jersey, could easily be the written version of the dialect still heard in those areas, and long assiciated with those areas. Given that Krazy Kat first appeared in the New York Evening Journal, which - in both its original iteration, and the later Journal-American iteration was a Tabloid paper that had a lot of poorer and less literate readers over the years, it is understandable that she should talk with that dialect. The Journal was what the New York Post is today. SSG Cornelius Seon (Retired) 14:52, 6 June 2006 (UTC)
I just reverted this edit. While I suppose that there is plenty of room for people to disagree about such things as passive voice and short vs. long section headings, the edit also removed proper date formatting and referencing fixes that are part of the article's WP:FAC process. I am commenting here in case there's something that I am missing about why those fixes shouldn't be made. -- Jkelly 19:16, 19 January 2006 (UTC)
I love discussing grammar. Taking each of your points in turn:
The difference is subtle, but profound. The subject is how a cartoonist deals with time and space. The past tense grounds the concept in a way that the literary present does not.
And one change leads to another. "Herriman was fond of experimenting..." is strong; "Herriman's Sunday layouts show..." is weak.
The past tense, "Herriman always found ways..." suggests effort and skill. "Herriman always finds ways..." suggests deviousness and avoidence.
The comma may be unnecessary, as it would be in "John went to the store and bought a loaf of bread." But the sentence is long (and yet carefully balanced), so I think the comma is justified. The insertion of a second "she" does not contribute to understanding and is pedantic.
I gave this one quite a bit of thought. "Where" is better than "when" because the occasions are not things that occur at a particular time, as in "On those occasions when I go to work..." but rather a particular kind of event, as in "On those occasions where I feel frustrated and alone...". "Where" calls attention to the situation rather than the time.
The phrases in brackets break the flow of the sentence without supplying useful information. "At the time of Krazy Kat's appearence" provokes the reaction, well "duh" -- what other time could the public react. Similarly, if not "readers", then who?
The misreading you suggest is a stretch. The sentence is strong and clear.
No objection from me -- wikify or dewikify years as you will. It was not my intention to mess with that, though I automatically wikify years when I wiki.
As best I remember, the only request for a citation that I removed was a request for a citation for the fact that Herriman used odd shaped panels to good effect. A citation for that would be like asking for a citation that Milton Caniff knew how to draw airplanes.
If we still can't agree, then I suggest we call in a third party -- I'm happy to go along with a third opinion. Rick Norwood 21:01, 19 January 2006 (UTC)
Let me know which are most important to you, and I hope we can agree on a compromise. Rick Norwood 22:18, 19 January 2006 (UTC)
How about this. Drop the comma, change "where" to "when", but leave "ambiguous" alone. Rick Norwood 13:41, 20 January 2006 (UTC)
Here's the section in question:
I'd even prefer eliminating "ambiguous" completely: "Krazy's own gender is never made clear, with most authors post-Herriman (beginning with E. E. Cummings) referring to her as female. Her creator even published several strips poking fun at this uncertainty." But there are many other ways I can think of to avoid this ambiguity: "Her creator did little [or "nothing"] to clarify the matter and even published several strips poking fun at this uncertainty." "Herriman made the issue more ambiguous by published several strips poking fun at this uncertainty." "Herriman [heightened/highlighted/embraced] the ambiguity and published several strips poking fun at this uncertainty."
At any rate, this isn't a dealbreaker for me. But I do sincerely wish you would reconsider this one specific turn of phrase. As for the comma and where/when changes, I'm of course for them, but I'll let Andrew weigh in before we go ahead. — Amcaja 14:41, 20 January 2006 (UTC)

If the KK article keeps changing, then it will not be listed as a featured article. I decided it was best to stop fighting over small changes, because I think the article deserves featured article status. Rick Norwood 13:47, 23 January 2006 (UTC)
Now, it looks as if my hope for a stable article was unrealistic. I have gone against my resolution above, and deleted a single word. Rick Norwood 13:51, 23 January 2006 (UTC)
I agree with all but one of the above. I found the adjectives "aristocratic" applied to Don Koyote and "coolie" applied to Mock Duck too acurate to omit. Rick Norwood 14:00, 27 January 2006 (UTC)
As a featured article, shouldn't there be a way to prevent editing of the article to stop this rampant vandalism? (sorry if I'm not following the conventions. I just want to bring this to attention)
I haven't looked at this article in a long while (take a peak in the history for my last important edits), but I thought I'd comment that I'm pleased with how it's developed. I doubt it would have gone any better had I been more involved. -- llywrch 19:24, 10 March 2006 (UTC)
Also, just passing through. Would someone please fold the edit I made about the Krazy and Ignatz reference in Spongebob into a place that makes sense. I'm too tired right now to put it where it belongs/edit it for clarity. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.111.16.206 ( talk) 17:22, 24 June 2008 (UTC)
I looked through the external links and I can't find any sort of archieves of the strips, I've now read a bunch of great reviews and critical acclaim of Krazy Kat so I'd love to actually be able to read the comic itself.—Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.14.37.211 ( talk • contribs)
i was able to view the blasphemous image that was linked to this featured article before the change was made, are there others out there who know what i am refering to?, and because this is the 6-6-06 dating i am sure that was the reason for the image and the message
I believe it is customary to use all lower case when referring to this poet...
Vandalism has taken place on the caption for the picture at the top of the page. The line "expression of love" has been changed to "expression of crap". 68.39.127.114 02:24, 6 June 2006 (UTC)
I was blocked from this page when I tried to edit it (namely the title), and I was wondering why. Please help. =) By the way, I think it was my IP that was blocked. -Joooona
There's got to be some problem, I am seeing a "you have been blocked due to vandalism" message!! I checked the history of the article and no IP address even remotely similar to mine was used to edit this page!!! Kindly do not reply at my ip address page. --06:21, 6 June 2006 (UTC) Oh well, the message itself was vandalism :)
The article's currently at Krazy Cat - it needs to go to Krazy Kat but I don't know how to make it - the move fails when I do it. (unsigned)
I seem to recall seeing a (new) Krazy Kat animated short in 1996 at the Edinburgh Film Festival, but can't find any reference to it on the www, so could be mistaken. -- duncan 17:03, 6 June 2006 (UTC)
So, this is what happens when an article is featured. Interesting. Rick Norwood 18:51, 6 June 2006 (UTC)
Since Phantasy Phanatik says that he doesn't know anything about Krazy Kat, it seems very highhanded to slap a Weasel Word tag on a featured article. He refers to a "statement quoted above" but I cannot find such a quote. Rick Norwood 13:48, 12 June 2006 (UTC)
Screw it. That's the last time I try to help you hard heads. Perhaps if someone you people actually consider worth your time like a sysop notices that the description is an advertisement, you'll listen. — Phantasy Phanatik | talk | contribs 03:49, 14 June 2006 (UTC)
I think if the article does need fixing, someone with a calmer head and some knowledge of the subject would do a better job. For you to try to "fix" this article is comparable to someone who has never listened to rock music trying to fix the article on The Beatles. (Come on, guys. Listen to me. A bunch of long-haired guitar players don't deserve this kind of puff piece.) Rick Norwood 15:27, 15 June 2006 (UTC)
This may help Phantasy Phanatik to understand why I reverted his recent edit:
Wikipedia:What is a featured article?
"A featured article has the following attributes.
It exemplifies our very best work. It is well written, comprehensive, factually accurate, neutral, and stable. Read Great writing and The perfect article to see how high the standards are set. In this respect: (a) "well written" means that the prose is compelling, even brilliant."
Rick Norwood 15:41, 15 June 2006 (UTC)
Honestly, that sentence really sounds like a promo. I would tone it down with a split: Krazy Kat is set in a dreamlike portrayal of Herriman's vacation home (Coconino County, Arizona), and provides a mixture of surrealism, innocent playfulness, and poetic language. Krazy Kat has been a favorite of comics aficionados and art critics for more than eighty years.-- BMF81 02:08, 25 August 2006 (UTC)
More recent featured article, very strong. Hiding Talk 22:43, 25 October 2006 (UTC)
An excellent article, congratulations to everyone who worked on it. I was just wondering whether image Mintz-krazy.jpg does refer to Krazy Kat or it refers to Felix the cat instead! —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Popopp ( talk • contribs) 14:37, 11 April 2007 (UTC).
There is a KK cartoon titled "Lambs Will Gamble" (note spelling, different from the caption on the picture). Those animals look more like cows than lambs, and the Cat does not look like a Kat. Rick Norwood 21:24, 11 April 2007 (UTC)
LAMBS WILL GAMBLE was retitled LAMBS WILL GAMBOL in some prints, and that's definitely a scene from it; it's a cartoon about bulls and bears fleecing investors at the stock market, where the investors are portrayed as sheep (i. e. lambs, thus the title pun). The bull characters are the ones pictured in the still. Krazy, wearing a top hat, is sort of their leader. The Columbia Crow's Nest link has a gallery page with numerous stills showing Columbia's unorthodox version of Krazy, and I assure you that for quite awhile he looked just like this... it's not Felix. Ramapith 02:08, 18 April 2007 (UTC)
Image:1937 1107 kkat brick 500.jpg has been tagged for deletion; I've disputed it. Anyone want to confirm the copyright status of the image; was its copyright renewed? John Vandenberg 12:07, 14 September 2007 (UTC)
Consider adding a link to the Comic Strip Library, a site that contains many scans of Krazy Kat strips (But only those that are in the public domain in the US). It is my own site, so a conflict of interest keeps me from adding it myself. Thanks. -- Zpc ( talk) 05:36, 2 January 2008 (UTC)

There apparently have been some American comic book versions of Krazy, between 1951 and 1952 Dell published a short-lived series, scripted by John Stanley, which soon folded, but after that, they had Krazy guest play in their Four Color magazine: [3] [4] Apart from that, Gold Key published a 1964 one-shot, apparently based on the new animated series [5] 惑乱 Wakuran ( talk) 22:23, 9 November 2008 (UTC)

Comic World #4 (1967?) is dedicated to and reprints many Krazy Kat strips in B&W in tabloid newspaper form. Comic World would later become Captain George's Comic World (Memory Lane Publications - Canada). — Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.32.105.91 ( talk) 06:52, 30 June 2011 (UTC)
There's an issue I though about addressing, which are the obviously deliberate misspellings used in the comic strip and various animated adaptations, such as "Offissa (Officer) Bull Pupp," "Li'l dollink" (little darling), "allus f'etful" (?), and of course the more famous catch phrase for those from the baby boom and later, "l'il ainjil" (little angel). Should there be some notes or something about them? I'm pretty sure nine times out of ten, a reader of this article would know what the characters are talking about, but even with the link to Argot, it seems like it may not make sense to everybody. --------- User:DanTD ( talk) 22:56, 21 December 2013 (UTC)

Just a heads up that when a media file such as this is renamed by moving, any associated TimedText (closed captions in srt files) do not get automatically moved at the same time, unlike associated Talk pages. Therefore it appears one must manually move each srt file manually, which I am in the process of doing now (not knowing a more automatic way). So far I have moved the English and German srts, but I've seen there are several others shown here still to do. This task should be complete when all those links go grey, indicating redirects. - 84user ( talk) 08:25, 13 May 2018 (UTC) EDIT to add I think it's done, here's what I did if anyone wants to check: seven languages moved, somehow I unnecessarily copied the English srt, but they all seem to work. - 84user ( talk) 08:45, 13 May 2018 (UTC)

I looked through the external links and I can't find any sort of archieves of the strips, I've now read a bunch of great reviews and critical acclaim of Krazy Kat so I'd love to actually be able to read the comic itself.—Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.14.37.211 ( talk • contribs)
i was able to view the blasphemous image that was linked to this featured article before the change was made, are there others out there who know what i am refering to?, and because this is the 6-6-06 dating i am sure that was the reason for the image and the message
I believe it is customary to use all lower case when referring to this poet...
Vandalism has taken place on the caption for the picture at the top of the page. The line "expression of love" has been changed to "expression of crap". 68.39.127.114 02:24, 6 June 2006 (UTC)
I was blocked from this page when I tried to edit it (namely the title), and I was wondering why. Please help. =) By the way, I think it was my IP that was blocked. -Joooona
There's got to be some problem, I am seeing a "you have been blocked due to vandalism" message!! I checked the history of the article and no IP address even remotely similar to mine was used to edit this page!!! Kindly do not reply at my ip address page. --06:21, 6 June 2006 (UTC) Oh well, the message itself was vandalism :)
The article's currently at Krazy Cat - it needs to go to Krazy Kat but I don't know how to make it - the move fails when I do it. (unsigned)
I seem to recall seeing a (new) Krazy Kat animated short in 1996 at the Edinburgh Film Festival, but can't find any reference to it on the www, so could be mistaken. -- duncan 17:03, 6 June 2006 (UTC)
So, this is what happens when an article is featured. Interesting. Rick Norwood 18:51, 6 June 2006 (UTC)
Since Phantasy Phanatik says that he doesn't know anything about Krazy Kat, it seems very highhanded to slap a Weasel Word tag on a featured article. He refers to a "statement quoted above" but I cannot find such a quote. Rick Norwood 13:48, 12 June 2006 (UTC)
Screw it. That's the last time I try to help you hard heads. Perhaps if someone you people actually consider worth your time like a sysop notices that the description is an advertisement, you'll listen. — Phantasy Phanatik | talk | contribs 03:49, 14 June 2006 (UTC)
I think if the article does need fixing, someone with a calmer head and some knowledge of the subject would do a better job. For you to try to "fix" this article is comparable to someone who has never listened to rock music trying to fix the article on The Beatles. (Come on, guys. Listen to me. A bunch of long-haired guitar players don't deserve this kind of puff piece.) Rick Norwood 15:27, 15 June 2006 (UTC)
This may help Phantasy Phanatik to understand why I reverted his recent edit:
Wikipedia:What is a featured article?
"A featured article has the following attributes.
It exemplifies our very best work. It is well written, comprehensive, factually accurate, neutral, and stable. Read Great writing and The perfect article to see how high the standards are set. In this respect: (a) "well written" means that the prose is compelling, even brilliant."
Rick Norwood 15:41, 15 June 2006 (UTC)
Honestly, that sentence really sounds like a promo. I would tone it down with a split: Krazy Kat is set in a dreamlike portrayal of Herriman's vacation home (Coconino County, Arizona), and provides a mixture of surrealism, innocent playfulness, and poetic language. Krazy Kat has been a favorite of comics aficionados and art critics for more than eighty years.-- BMF81 02:08, 25 August 2006 (UTC)
More recent featured article, very strong. Hiding Talk 22:43, 25 October 2006 (UTC)
An excellent article, congratulations to everyone who worked on it. I was just wondering whether image Mintz-krazy.jpg does refer to Krazy Kat or it refers to Felix the cat instead! —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Popopp ( talk • contribs) 14:37, 11 April 2007 (UTC).
There is a KK cartoon titled "Lambs Will Gamble" (note spelling, different from the caption on the picture). Those animals look more like cows than lambs, and the Cat does not look like a Kat. Rick Norwood 21:24, 11 April 2007 (UTC)
LAMBS WILL GAMBLE was retitled LAMBS WILL GAMBOL in some prints, and that's definitely a scene from it; it's a cartoon about bulls and bears fleecing investors at the stock market, where the investors are portrayed as sheep (i. e. lambs, thus the title pun). The bull characters are the ones pictured in the still. Krazy, wearing a top hat, is sort of their leader. The Columbia Crow's Nest link has a gallery page with numerous stills showing Columbia's unorthodox version of Krazy, and I assure you that for quite awhile he looked just like this... it's not Felix.

Image:1937 1107 kkat brick 500.jpg has been tagged for deletion; I've disputed it. Anyone want to confirm the copyright status of the image; was its copyright renewed? John Vandenberg 12:07, 14 September 2007 (UTC)
Consider adding a link to the Comic Strip Library, a site that contains many scans of Krazy Kat strips (But only those that are in the public domain in the US). It is my own site, so a conflict of interest keeps me from adding it myself. Thanks. -- Zpc ( talk) 05:36, 2 January 2008 (UTC)

Was listed and it's full of pop up windows and spammy links. It may be a good source but it'll open a lot of pop up windows before you get to it and that'll crash your computer.

There apparently have been some American comic book versions of Krazy, between 1951 and 1952 Dell published a short-lived series, scripted by John Stanley, which soon folded, but after that, they had Krazy guest play in their Four Color magazine: [3] [4] Apart from that, Gold Key published a 1964 one-shot, apparently based on the new animated series [5] 惑乱 Wakuran ( talk) 22:23, 9 November 2008 (UTC)

Here are selected Google News search results for 1918 to 1923 (you will need to drill down to the specific years).
Note: This selection ignores the frequent mentions of just "Krazy Kat" and at least one boat named "Krazy Kat".

Comic World #4 (1967?) is dedicated to and reprints many Krazy Kat strips in B&W in tabloid newspaper form. Comic World would later become Captain George's Comic World (Memory Lane Publications - Canada). — Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.32.105.91 ( talk) 06:52, 30 June 2011 (UTC)
There's an issue I though about addressing, which are the obviously deliberate misspellings used in the comic strip and various animated adaptations, such as "Offissa (Officer) Bull Pupp," "Li'l dollink" (little darling), "allus f'etful" (?), and of course the more famous catch phrase for those from the baby boom and later, "l'il ainjil" (little angel). Should there be some notes or something about them? I'm pretty sure nine times out of ten, a reader of this article would know what the characters are talking about, but even with the link to Argot, it seems like it may not make sense to everybody. --------- User:DanTD ( talk) 22:56, 21 December 2013 (UTC)
Why is there a tag for inline citations on an article that has inline citations, and that was a featured article?

Just a heads up that when a media file such as this is renamed by moving, any associated TimedText (closed captions in srt files) do not get automatically moved at the same time, unlike associated Talk pages. Therefore it appears one must manually move each srt file manually, which I am in the process of doing now (not knowing a more automatic way). So far I have moved the English and German srts, but I've seen there are several others shown here still to do. This task should be complete when all those links go grey, indicating redirects. - 84user ( talk) 08:25, 13 May 2018 (UTC) EDIT to add I think it's done, here's what I did if anyone wants to check: seven languages moved, somehow I unnecessarily copied the English srt, but they all seem to work. - 84user ( talk) 08:45, 13 May 2018 (UTC)
