“This is the plot: Krazy, inoffensive creature of uncertain sex, loves Ignatz Mouse. Ignatz despises Krazy—for his inoffensiveness, for his inpenetrable silliness, and for his unshakable affection—and Ignatz, (therefore?) devotes all his intelligence and energy to the single end of hitting Krazy on the head with bricks.”
