Watterson Deposits Four Krazy Kat Sundays to Billy Ireland Cartoon Library

The Billy Ireland Cartoon Library has announced on their Instagram account that Calvin and Hobbes creator Bill Watterson has deposited four Krazy Kat Sundays to the library.

From the announcement:

A beloved and influential American newspaper comic strip by George Herriman which ran from 1913-1944, Krazy Kat pushed boundaries, played with language, and experimented with unconventional page layouts and panel arrangements. A complicated love story set in Herriman’s scratchy and fantastical Arizona desert. We’re krazy about it! ZIP!

They’ve also acquired more than 300 pieces of original artwork from Chester Gould, Nell Brinkley, Bill Mauldin, Homer Davenport, Marge Henderson Buell, Paul Webb, Rose O’Neill, Fontaine Fox, C.D. Russell, Ernie Bushmiller and others from a private collection belonging to Donald Cook, an architect and comic art fan.

So many reasons to visit the Billy Ireland Cartoon Library.
