(1880-1944), U.S. cartoonist. George Herriman was born on Aug. 22, 1880, in New Orleans, La. He was selling his cartoons to magazines such as Life and Judge before he was 20 years old and later moved to New York City to find regular newspaper work. He worked with various newspaper comic syndicates and produced a series of short-lived comic strips before and during his work on "Krazy Kat," his most famous creation. The strip first appeared in 1910 and is considered a classic.
