[[A river. Krazy Kat is in a shoe box floating downstream. Ignatz is hiding behind a rock, holding a big stick. We don't actually see Krazy until the third panel.]] Ignatz: He comes - Krazy: Oy-yoy and a bottles of rum [[The shoe box floats past Ignatz. He swings his stick, misses and falls in the water.]] Krazy: 16 fellas on a dead man's boozum, oy-oy and a bottles of saspanilla <<Splash>> Krazy: Hark!! I heard a splesh - [[Ignatz is swimming behind the shoe box.]] [[The stream runs into a tunnel under a hill. Ignatz runs to the top of the hill.]] Krazy: But I guess it were but a fish, jumpink hitherly and thitherly within the river. [[The shoe box is about to emerge from the tunnel. Ignatz is above the tunnel mouth, preparing to push a rock onto Krazy.]] Ignatz: His doom is nigh - [[The rock and Ignatz fall into the water behind Krazy, who is startled, a "?" above his head.]] [[Krazy is lying down in the box with his feet up.]] Krazy: My nose itches. That is a sign that my dahlink "Ignatz" is thinking by me. Ignatz: Revenge! [[Ignatz is on a bridge, ready to jump.]] Ignatz: He shall not escape me this time - [[Again, Ignatz falls into the water, missing Krazy.]] Krazy: My, another splesh - How egitated is the river today - [[Ignatz is on a tree limb over the river.]] Ignatz: This time - sure- [[Missed again. Krazy is so startled he almost jumps out of the box.]] Krazy: Jee-wiz! Yatching on the river is just one fool splesh after another- [[In cartoons every river has at least one waterfall, and Krazy is heading for it.]] Ignatz: Ah-hah! Krazy: And if they don't stop my nerve will be all shot to pieces - {{Panel number: "Thirteen - and as usual, very unlucky"}} [[Krazy goes down the waterfall]] [[Below the waterfall, the shoebox is sinking. Ignatz is on the shore, standing on one leg with both arms raised.]] Ignatz: Hoo-roor!! He's wrecked!! He's gone, Hooray!! [[Krazy Kat is underwater, talking to a fish.]] Krazy: Well, well, so you are Krazy Kat-fish, huh? Krazy Kat-fish: Yes I am. Let me introduce you to Mr. Mannie Mush-rat. [[Underwater at Mannie's door]] Krazy Kat-fish: Mannie, this is Mr. Krazy Kat, a land relative of mine, who is good friends to a land relative of yours by the name of Ignatz Mouse. Mannie: Welcome, any friend of cousin Ignatz is always a friend of mine. Come in. [[Cross section of Mannie's burrow. One end is underwater, the other end leads into a hollow tree. Ignatz is above ground walking toward the tree.]] Ignatz: Da-a-gunnit! [[Inside the burrow. Minnie is holding a baby and there are at least 8 other children.]] Mannie: Krazy, meet my wife Minnie and all my children. Krazy: Pleased to meetcha. Minnie: How d'do? [[Ignatz is sitting on a rock, holding a handkerchief and sobbing.]] Ignatz: Ojee-ojee, he's gone forever - ooh-hoooo- {{Ignatz's word balloon is like a cloud with rain falling}} Mannie: That's our back door. It takes you out on land through the old hollow tree. Good-bye! Give our love to cousin Ignatz! Krazy: Adios! [[Ignatz sitting on rock, weeping]] Ignatz: Oh why did I ever treat him so cruel? Oh why oh - [[Krazy looks out from hole in tree]] Krazy: Why, li'l ainjil, why weeps thou? [[Ignatz jumps up, question marks over his head]] Krazy: It's only me, dahlink - [[Ignatz throws rock into tree]] <<Ziz - Pow!!>> [[Ignatz walks away, dust clouds behind him]] Ignatz: Krazy Kat! Krazy: Li'l lollipops! How he loves me! |
