Krazy Kat
"Krazy Kat" was popular with intellectuals, artists and critics, and in the 1920s Herriman's modernist touches received praise. In 1921, composer John Alden Carpenter, who had long been an admirer of Herriman's work, approached him to collaborate on a "Krazy Kat" ballet. President Woodrow Wilson refused to miss any installment of "Krazy Kat", and would take it into cabinet meetings.
