Strips

Though not a typical comic series of bound issues, Strips (1917–present) is the enduring newspaper comic-strip feature that has run daily for over a century. Published by the syndicate Strips, its defining talent is creator George Herriman, whose surreal, poetic, and linguistically inventive work in the strip Krazy Kat made it a landmark of American cartooning. The series matters as a foundational pillar of comic art, showcasing Herriman's unique blend of whimsy, philosophy, and visual innovation that has influenced generations of artists and writers.
