i think i was about ten so when i first noticed this comic strip. did not pay much attention to it at first but the more you looked the more you became fascinated by it. i haven't seen any of the cartoons for very many years but i still remember those crazy landscapes. it seems to me that george herriman could have made a name for himself as a painter of surrealist landscapes. of course, at that time i had no inkling of surrealism but was aware that such landscapes could not exist in the real world. some have commented on how a supposedly timid mouse could have turned into a fierce aggressor. i have nothing to say about that. things happen, you know. burgesssha
