"On Krazy Kat and Peanuts" by Umberto Eco

"The constraint of Krazy Kat‘s narrow plot seems to have set free every other aspect of the cartoon to become poetry, and the strip is, to my mind, cartooning at its most pure."

1989 Watterson speech - good comments about Peanuts, Pogo, and KK
Also good talk about how ridiculous it is for syndicates to own the rights to a strip.
