Vintage Krazy Kat playing card.
Krazy Kat and Ignatz Mouse argued about the nature of language:
Krazy: “Why is Lenguage, Ignatz?”
Ignatz: “Language is that we may understand one another.”
Krazy: “Can you unda-stend a Finn, or a Leplender, or a Oshkosher, huh?”
Ignatz: “No,”
Krazy: “Can a Finn, or a Leplender, or a Oshkosher unda-stend you?”
Ignatz: “No,”
Krazy: “Then I would say lenguage is that that we may mis-unda-stend each udda.”
