If one were to see Krazy for the first time, chances are very good that person will think the cat is male. This is because Krazy doesn't wear anything that's strictly feminine. Therefore, I guess the way Nolan made the cat a male for the films starting in 1925 was reasonable. Also, to come up with a feline that has no gender might seem too weird.

@TiCar85 nice comment whoever you are,aye is you a girl

[TiCar85]

Krazy isn't exactly female in the comic strips. In fact the cat is, as described by George Herriman, genderless. Herriman even said Krazy was based on mythical creatures like sprites and elves, both of which have no sex.

[whoadude1959]

Epic! Thanks!

[EJDW]

In the original comic strip and the later 60's cartoon Krazy Kat is female

[RockinEd]

@EJDW well I guess Mintz did a "Chazz Bono" on him

[TiCar85]

@RockinEd Actually it was Bill Nolan who changed Krazy Kat, not Mintz.

2:05 It appears Krazy Kat has discovered A.D.D.

[BazookaBuhnull]

The people behind these animated shorts would have honored Herriman's version of the character. But considering the comic strip's low popularity, there was a need for them to do some remodelling in order to up the score.

[StudioAREshorts]

How fucking stoned were these guys who made this 0_0?

[TiCar85]

Animators back then probably can't be blamed if they make characters similar to Mickey. When Felix the Cat was the hit character, a number of cartoonists, including Disney, came up with cats based on that one. Despite this, the creator of Felix didn't seem to complain.

[BazookaBuhnull]

Picture's okay but the audio.

[TiCar85]

In some shorts, Krazy looks like Felix. The only difference being that Krazy wears a bow behind his neck.

[BazookaBuhnull]

@TiCar85 It's like those two cats are close cousins.

[RetroRabFan]

Krazy Kat looks cuter in these cartoons than he is in the comic strips.

[Keven19741]

So how come we don't see Ignatz the mouse knocking Krazy Kat upside the head with a brick like he did in the 60's?

[RockinEd]

@Keven19741 Ignatz did not appear in any of the Mintz/Columbia Shorts. The 60s version of KK was like that of the orignal seen in the 10's

[teckwizz123]

i had no idea that krazy kat haz been around so long

[Staszu13]

Hmmm. Hot dogs look a bit raw - still alive, that is.

[RockinEd]

That's because half of them worked either for or with Disney.

[Ntreik96]

Those days everybody was trying to copy Mickey Mouse, and it's obvious!

[ertznay]

This is not Herriman's Krazy Kat.

[sitwosaints]

Too weird for me

[SkeebWilcox]

I still say there are some drugs that we aren't being told about...

[GreatBigSea1968]

Those weenies are way too happy about being roasted! I love these old cartoons...so much imagination in them.

[puttinmy2sencein]

UGH! in 1960's, Krazy Kat is a girl!! that's wierd!

[verbusen]

@puttinmy2sencein Different Krazy Kat character. I'm surprised this was made with that name as the original Krazy was a cartoon strip from the early 1900's as you can see here on youtube. He (or she) was with Ignatz and a Police Dog, it was kind of a love triangle, as a kid I used to love the mouse (Ignatz) hitting Krazy in the head with bricks. Then the Police dog would put Ignatz in jail and on and on and on.

[pokemanmaster03]

@puttinmy2sencein In the original comics, he was technically genderless (or just never had a consistent gender) if George Herrimen's words are to be taken seriously.
