Krazy Kat
The cat-and-mouse substrip was gaining in popularity; instead of filling up space in the bottom of "The Dingbat Family"s panels, it began to occupy a tier of panels of its own. In July 1912, while Herriman had the Dingbats on vacation, Krazy Kat and Ignatz Mouse took over the strip, which was retitled "Krazy Kat and I. Mouse" for the duration. On October 28, 1913, "Krazy Kat" debuted as an independent strip on the daily comics page.
