[edit] Summary

A rare full-page Saturday Krazy Kat comic in which Krazy tries to understand why Door Mouse (a minor character from the early strips) is carrying a door. Krazy expounds upon the door as a useless object while Door Mouse uses it as a bridge, a raft, and a table, and to protect them from the elements. Ultimately it is used to block one of Ignatz's bricks from hitting Krazy. Click the image to view it full-size.

Note: When Krazy Kat says "The best thing you can say about it is, when is a door not a door, and the answer is, when it's a jug -- which is of course a joke" he is misquoting a popular American joke. The actual answer is "when it's ajar".

Artist: George Herriman
Published in the New York Evening Journal
January 21, 1922

The color Saturday Krazy Kats were a short-lived experiment from early 1922. They were the only color Krazy strips before 1935 (Citation: A Katnip Kantata in the Key of K, 1991. Eclipse Books/Turtle Island, ISBN 1560600640). This image scanned from page 31 of the cited volume. Public domain owing to age.
