I see a subtle influence of Battleship Potemkin here, Krazy Kat's attire resembles that of some of the sailors on the battleship during the 'action onboard' sequences, and that of the soldiers on the infamous 'stairway' in the same movie.
I do remember him drawing me Popeye on a big piece of paper but that disappeared years ago..He basically retired in the late 50's early 60's and also did Baby Huey...Scrappy and Herman and Katnip..i believe he also worked on a few Popeyes..mostly uncredited...i do remember one Popeye episode with is name on it...it was the one where the credits start out on the boats doors that open and close.
hi, I was wondering what your grandfather thought of the Krazy Kat cartoons did he like working on them? They're some of my favorite classic cartoons! ^_^
I thought they were doing an early Tex Avery-style gag right at the end, when the silhouette of the audience member appears! ;) Wonderful cartoon from start to finish--and a beautiful-looking print. Thanks for sharing, as ever, Milton!
Thanks for posting..... Looks a lot more like Bimbo or Bosko than Krazy Kat, but anyway~~ Great to see these old cartoons on the internet --for the first time. (For some reason they didn't circulate these in the 60's in NYC like the old Koko and Flip the Frog cartoons.)
Thank you for sharing this ! I wonder if the big bearded Pig was a reference to Bert Gordon's "Mad Russian" character on radio in the '30's & '40's ? Also, could the Russian mens' singing possibly be the Don Cossack Chorus ?
Hey kids You want Krazy Kat? Well your getting but we have to cut some stuff out so you aren't getting Ignatz Mouse and Offiser Pup your getting Girl Cat and Krazy's Pet Dog.

Not surprised the Russian music sounds authentic, many of the staff either grew up on the stetl, or their parents did
Krazy Kat cartoons were special. In some,like this one,the music was truly memorable.

Why is there laughter in the background? This is not a sitcom it's a cartoon short.

Great cartoon.
But I'm not seeing a whole lot of similarity (read: any at all) with the Herriman character -- other than the name, of course.
