Looking for Krazy Kat!

A few words from Craig Yoe:

"My book, Krazy Kat & The Art of George Herriman: A Celebration, is
quickly speeding toward completion--it's almost wrapped up! Tons of
original strip art, drawings, illustrated letters, photos of Herriman,
vintage articles, paintings including many, many jaw-dropping
unpublished pieces. This will be a large format coffetable art book published by Abrams. Introduction by Bill Watterson.

If you would like your Herriman piece to be included you should
contact me immediately. Unpublished pieces of course especially
welcomed. Hand colored strips--yay! Exceptional Sundays originals (I
know, they all are, but we have quite a few and now looking for the
creme de la creme). I really could use more dailies. My editor would
like more art in general with brick throwing! Any very rare vintage
rare newspaper or magazine articles--greatly desired. Rare Herriman
photos, and Krazy Kat toys and animation material, too.

Please spread the word on this to anyone you know with Herriman art or artifacts and
have them get in touch with me. Thanks to the many
collectors, museums and institutions who have already made generous
efforts to contribute to this book--I am most grateful. Please spread the news. Thank you deeply,--Craig Yoe

Herriman in the 20's

Just have to share this one. From the collection of Ron Goulart.

It was just sold on eBay with the following description: An original glossy 8"x10" photo of GEORGE HERRIMAN, on the left with hat. Next to him is fellow cartoonist TOM McNAMARA. Then Herriman's two daughters. Unknown chap on right. Picture was taken at the Toluca Lake area of the San Fernando Valley, in the middle 1920s, when this area was opening up and being developed.
