Loac Essentials Volume 12

Mehr zum Buch

Reprinted for the very first time, these century-old strips comprise a key early work from the creator of Krazy Kat , perhaps the most lauded cartoonist of all time.This book concludes a three-volume LOAC Essentials sub-series by presenting the final year of Baron Bean , one of Herriman's richest and funniest creations, second only to Krazy Kat , whose citizens would occasionally grace these panels.Herriman found few themes as fascinating as the power of titles and the ways in which worth in society is determined based on a hat, a name, or the color of one's skin. Each day he gives reason to question not only the superiority of would-be "Barons" over their vassals and retainers, but equally the superiority of so-called "humans" over the animals they call "pets."
