Coconino County

Lovers of unusual destinations should stop by Coconino County. They will be immediately struck by the surreal landscape of shifting shapes that forms the backdrop to the daily lives of the residents. From one glance to the next, the features can change from mesas to towers to sculpted curves.

It is against this setting that the three principal residents of Coconino County carry out the whimsical dramas of their lives. These little vignettes were chronicled for many years by George Herriman who portrayed this unusual area with his minimal pen-and-ink drawings. The action itself changes little from day to day. The main resident of the area, Krazy Kat is secretly in love with a mouse named Ignatz. Ignatz does not return Krazy’s love, and expresses his disdain by hurling bricks at the Kat’s head. It is up to local law enforcement in the person of one Offissa Pupp to prevent these assaults. As an added twist, Krazy thinks of these daily beanings as a token of affection.

It's a metaphor. 

Despite his/her (it’s unclear) frequent head injuries, Krazy remains remarkably philosophical. Those who listen carefully to the dialogue will discover whimsical musings that range over a variety of topics.

Bookings for extended stays can be difficult to find, but are well worth the search. Famous tourists in the past have included e.e. cummings and F. Scott Fitzgerald, as well as Chuck Jones, Bill Watterson and Gary Larson.
