The continuous exposure of the last five decades has in no way dimmed my own certainty that he was the finest and most near perfect of our pantheon of cartoonists.
The sweet and poetic genius of George Herriman has been extolled, described, explained and "doped out centrifugally, centripedally and in the fourth dimension," to lift some of George’s own words from an unrelated situation. And there was also the lovely biography/art book by McDonnell and O’Connell (1986). By itself, the introductory matter in the volumes of the Fantagraphics collection of the complete Sunday pages, by Bill Blackbeard and others, could be arranged to form a voluminous and comprehensive biography.
Of all the cartoonists in our starry firmament, Herriman is undoubtedly the one who has received the most attention over the decades. Krazy: George Herriman, A Life in Black and White
