Kitz 'n' Katz is a collection of classic, old school style funny animal comics.  The formats of the work collected here includes the three and four-panel strips that ran weekly in The Comics Buyer's Guide from 1981 to 1985 as well as the comic book format short stories that made up the six issues of the comic book series, with the first issue published by Phantasy Press in 1984, then the next four by Eclipse Comics from 1985 to 1987, and with the final, sixth issue self-published. 

Laughlin, who passed away in 2006, was already well into his fifties when Kitz 'n'' Katz began, and the drawing is highly polished.  It's a classic comics concept: a black cat and a white cat go through the pacves from gags to adventures to send-ups and satires. The substance is largely on the silly side, and feels a bit like a misguided mash up of Krazy Kat and Garfield, but there's definitely a lot of love for Herriman here, regardless.

And, the introduction of this volume is by none other than fellow Herriman aficionado, Patrick McDonnell, who, it turns out, had his comics debut in the pages of Kitz 'n' Katz! These were three one-page comics featuring "Tik 'n'Tak", a pair of ticks that lived on Kitz 'n' Katz, and they are included here.  McDonnell completists, please take note.

All in all, a worthy addition to any true blue old school comics fan.
