eyeballjellomold: bicatperson: I just want everyone to take a moment and appreciate Krazy Kat. for context: Krazy’s unrequited crush is a pillar of the strip, Ignatz Mouse is being unusually patient here, and Joe Stork is literally the magic stork who delivers babies all these characters are canonically male Joe Stork’s only objection to this potential romance is “what if the kids turn out like Ignatz” this was published in newspapers in 1920 Krazy Kat is actually canonically genderfluid! The pronouns change constantly. I’ve definitely gone through multi-year collections of strips that only ever refer to Krazy as “he.” Can’t think offhand of any examples that use “she”.(People have used it when writing essays about the series, but that’s different from it being in the series, and tbh seems to be driven by “this is undeniably romantic, so it must actually be m/f, how could any other gender combo make sense??” than anything else.)Can you point us to some sources? -- source link
