Offissa Pupp devotes himself to preserving harmony and protecting Krazy from Ignatzrsquos assaults.

An American classic admired for its artistic and literary relevance by famous luminaries such as Pablo Picasso, e.e. cummings and William Randolph Hearst, Krazy Kat has inspired many cartoonists, artists and writers.
