Who the hell is ? He is a comic strip character, created in 1910 by George Herriman. The comic was named "Krazy Kat" and was first published with this name on 1913. It ran until 1944, when its author died.
The story is quite simple. There's three main characters, "Krazy", a cat (We'll never know if it's a male or a female), "Ignatz", a mouse and "Pupp" a dog who is also the Sheriff.
Krazy is in love with Ignatz, which hates him and spend most of his time to throw a brick onto Krazy's head.
For Krazy's point of view, this brick-throwing thing is just a manifestation of Ignatz's love for him/her.
Offisser Pupp is in love with Krazy and spend the most of his time sending Ignatz to jail, because he can't stand seeing him throwing bricks at Krazy's head. All of this crazy things happens in the Coconino county, which is inspired from the Arizona's deserts, but a lot more funny.
Not very promising hmmm ?
Just add to all that stuff some fantasy, some poetry, a wonderful and somewhat surrealistic drawing, shake a lot, powder with some of Herriman's special recipe, and the magic is here.
