which American newspaper comic strip featured in Rail Rode
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. It first appeared in the "New York Evening Journal", whose owner, William Randolph Hearst, was a major booster for the strip throughout its run. The characters had been introduced previously in a side strip with Herriman's earlier creation, "". The phrase "Krazy Kat" originated there, said by the mouse by way of describing the cat. Set in a dreamlike portrayal of Herriman's vacation home of Coconino County, Arizona, "Krazy mixture of offbeat surrealism, innocent playfulness and poetic, idiosyncratic language has made it a favorite of comics aficionados and art critics for more than 80 years.
Akwas Akwas by Mike Roy is a Sunday only adventure comic strip which ran from June 14, 1964, to March 28, 1965, and was syndicated through 1972. It featured the Native American character Akwas in realistic historical adventures set before Christopher Columbus' voyage to the Americas. The best format is the half page; the strip is also found in a third of a page and tabloid formats, which drop one or more panels. There were four stories: "Cricket Kidnapped", "The Dream Fast", "Mission to the Huron", and "Jessakid". Toward the end of the strip, as it appeared in fewer and fewer newspapers, Mike Roy attempted to revive interest by giving Akwas superpowers. The strip ended shortly after this. None of the stories have been reprinted, but one Akwas strip can be seen on the cover of Comics Revue #266.
