comic 1860s pronunciation?

[Baker, John]

        Actually, there are many masculine references to Krazy in the
comic strip.  Herriman seems to have been deliberate in making Krazy a
sexually ambiguous character.

>>Krazy Kat, who is oblivious to the brick about to be
tossed at his head.

All aficionados know that Krazy Kat is a girl, caught up in one of
literature's most troubled romances.

So just who are you and what have you done with Mark?
