The first cartoon adapted from George Herriman's comic strip appeared in 1916 but only lasted a few years. The character was one of the most popular in the comics, but didn't translate well to the screen. In 1925, he was revived for the movies and Columbia picked up his contract. Along with Mickey Mouse and Betty Boop, Krazy Kat became one of the most popular animated characters of the early 1930's. There was only minor fold wear and a touch of paper loss on the corners of this poster prior to being professionally linen-backed. It looks awesome now!This is by far the best stock poster made for one of Columbia's classic animated characters.
