Beschreibung:

A rare full-page Saturday Krazy Kat comic in which Krazy tries to understand why Door Mouse (a minor character from the early strips) is carrying a door. Krazy expounds upon the door as a useless object while Door Mouse uses it as a bridge, a raft, and a table, and to protect them from the elements. Ultimately it is used to block one of Ignatz's bricks from hitting Krazy. Click the image to view it full-size.

Note: When Krazy Kat says "The best thing you can say about it is, when is a door not a door, and the answer is, when it's a jug -- which is all a joke" he is misquoting a popular American joke. The actual answer is "when it's ajar".

Note also that in the lower-left panel (#19) Krazy is actually leaning not against a physical object but rather the edge of the panel.

Der Strip entwickelte sich in seiner Grundkonstellation hauptsächlich aus den Abenteuern zweier sprechender Tier-Nebenfiguren in Herrimans humoristischer Comicserie The Dingbat Family (1910–1916). Herriman, der Krazy Kat eigenen Angaben zufolge aus Langeweile erfand, zeichnete den Comic bis zu seinem Tod im Jahr 1944. .. weiterlesen
