Watching these Krazy Kat cartoons makes one think that the artists and animators were simply banking on their audiences enjoying the movement in and of itself. When Ignatz Mouse sneaks under the circus tent, all we see moving is Krazy's tail. It goes on for some time. While the principal characters are pretty static, they seem to have some part of them that moves. Ignatz is practically a stick drawing and he gets to move around a great deal more than others. I'm sure drawing him in a series of stills would be quite easy to accomplish. At some point we will begin to see movement on several fronts. And, perhaps, there will be a bit of plot development to go with it.
