I embarked on the Krazy & Ignatz journey as an academic endeavor, thinking I should read old comics if I'm ever to become an authority. To my surprise, I quite enjoyed the book, laughed out loud not a little, and am rather eager to get my hands on other volumes in this set of reprints. The gender confusion, nearly void landscape, and droll, strange humor make for an absorbing, almost transporting, experience. Bonus points for book design by Chris Ware.
