Style
Herriman drew with what cartoonist Edward Sorel called a "liberated, spontaneous-looking stylea cartoon counterpart of expressionism". It was organic, and his pen strokes had a dynamic, thick-and-thin range that is instantly recognizable and difficult to imitate. His Krazy Kat Sundays in particular showed Herriman at his most daring—no page had the same panel layout or logo. In his last few years, Herriman's arthritis led to an ever-scratchier style of art. He used a knife to scratch out whites from inked surfaces, giving the artwork a woodcut look.
