I remember reading both âThe Katzenjammer Kidsâ and âThe Captain and the Kidsâ back in the 50s (my Grandmother mailed us the Sunday comics of all the NYC papers) and wondering what was going on, but I didnât find out until many years later.
The reason both lasted for so long: Dirksâ version ( Cap ânâ Kids) was quite good, but Harold Knerrâs (Katz) version was sensational. A riot of pacing and a beautiful fluid line.

The Katzenjammer Kids strip is still running today, even though itâs a shell of its former self.

I donât even count todayâs Katzies as the same strip. Actually, I donât count todayâs newspaper comics as comic strips.

I didnât know the Katzenjammer Kids (a/k/a The Captain and the Kids) ran in the Chicago Tribune back in the old days of newspapers and comics!
