Who is Offisa Bull Pupp?

Offisa Bull Pupp is the law-enforcing dog constable from George Herriman's classic comic strip Krazy Kat, hopelessly devoted to Krazy Kat while perpetually jailing Ignatz Mouse for hurling bricks — oblivious that Krazy cherishes those same throws as tokens of affection.

A figure rooted in the very dawn of American comics, Offisa Bull Pupp made his debut in 1924 — deep in the Platinum Age — brought to life by Ralph Briggs Fuller, and has endured in print all the way through 2023, a testament to the timeless world he inhabits. He shares the page with legends like Krazy Kat and Ignatz Mouse, as well as icons Flash Gordon and The Phantom, placing him in remarkably storied company across the anthology pages of Comics Revue and the lovingly curated George Herriman Library: Krazy & Ignatz collections from Fantagraphics. With a key issue to his name and nearly a century of continuous presence, Offisa Bull Pupp is a genuine piece of comics history — the kind of character that reminds collectors just how deep and rich this medium's roots truly run.
