1sentence.
Krazy Kat, by George Herriman, is a gorgeous and poetic comic strip from the 1940s. Bill Watterson of Calvin and Hobbes has cited it as one of his biggest influences.
It is impossible to explain all the nuances, but in brief, Ignatz (the mouse) throws bricks at Krazy (the cat), which Krazy (who is in love with Ignatz) takes as a sign of love (there's an actual reason for this, but it's not terribly important).
Herriman writes half the text of the comic in this crazy mixed-up quasi-Creole patois. I attempted it in some of the dialogue, but mostly I didn't even try.
Title: There Is A Happy Land
Fandom: Krazy Kat
Rating: G for the lot
Disclaimer: Were that these were mine; but no, that honor belongs to Geo. Herriman.
( When a denizen of Coconino yells 'Run!', Krazy has learned to stand stock-still, because it means that Ignatz is aiming. )
