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.

Famous quotes containing the word style:
“The authoritarian child-rearing style so often found in working-class families stems in part from the fact that parents see around them so many young people whose lives are touched by the pain and delinquency that so often accompanies a life of poverty. Therefore, these parents live in fear for their children’s future—fear that they’ll lose control, that the children will wind up on the streets or, worse yet, in jail.”
—Lillian Breslow Rubin (20th century)
“Style is the man himself.
[Le style c’est l’homme même.]”
—Leclerc, George-Louis Buffon, Comte De (1707–1788)
