This site is under construction and will be continually growing. I am being careful to get legitimate permission to use all images. Dicey of the Dicey is Nicey website has had a comix obsession since childhood, when she collected Snoopy books and wanted to grow up to BE a cartoonist. Bloom County cracked her up in grade school, she wrote a paper on Krazy Kat in college, and has somehow ended up with many cartooning friends. Following are some of her picks from the incredible world of comic art, roughly in chronological order.
All art is from Dicey's collection of comic books, reprint books, and original art.
Kitchen Sink Press has released a large volume George Herriman Unfortunately, I can't find my Komplete Krazy Kat book by Patrick McDonnell, creator of the current daily Mutts . Its a great resource. There is a complexity to Krazy that the masses just didn't appreciate, not only in the gags, storylines, and dialogue, but in its concept. If I find my McDonnell book I'll fill this bio out with whatever I am forgetting. If you haven't seen Little Nemo, check out the Fantagraphics collected anthology volumes, and you will see why it is considered the greatest comic strip ever, period.
