Krazy Kat Krazy Kat (also known as Krazy & Ignatz at some reprints and compilations) is an American newspaper comic strip by cartoonist George Herriman (1880–1944), which ran from 1913 to 1944.

Tumbleweeds (comic strip) Tumbleweeds was an American comic strip that offered a skewed perspective on life in the Old West. Writer-artist Tom K. Ryan (1926 – ) (who signed the strip "T.K. Ryan") was very familiar with conventions of the Western genre he satirized. Launched September 1965, the strip was distributed for decades initially by the Register and Tribune Syndicate and later by the King Features Syndicate after its acquisition. Jim Davis, who created "Garfield", was Ryan's assistant (from 1969 to 1978) while developing another strip, "Gnorm Gnat". After a 42-year run, Ryan retired and brought "Tumbleweeds" to a conclusion on December 30, 2007.
