    <dcterms:title><![CDATA[Krazy Kat Goes A-Wooing]]></dcterms:title>
    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[<p><span style="font-weight:400;">Krazy Kat tries to serenade his love interest, Ignaz, but does not succeed.<br /><br /><span>These characters originally appeared in the comic strip, </span></span>Krazy Kat created by cartoonist George Herriman. His credit in the opening titles was included for contractual reasons and he Herriman had no direct input on the short itself.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight:400;"><span>This short currently features the oldest explicitly queer character in the database. As examined in <em>The New Yorker</em> article "</span><a href="https://www.newyorker.com/books/page-turner/the-gender-fluidity-of-krazy-kat">The Gender Fluidity of Krazy Kat</a>" b<span class="BaseWrap-sc-gjQpdd BaseText-ewhhUZ BylinePreamble-iJolpQ iUEiRd jslZfG gnILss byline__preamble">y </span>Gabrielle Bellot, <span>Herriman described Krazy Kat's sex as follows: "'They have no sex. So that Kat can't be classified as either male or female.'"</span><br /></span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight:400;">Due to the lack of queer terminology from that period and Krazy Kat's fluctuating pronouns in the original comic strip, I will categorize Krazy Kat as androgynous and queer, and refer to them with they/them pronouns unless explicitly stated otherwise in a specific strip or short.</span></p>
<span><span style="font-weight:400;">For <em>Krazy Kat Goes A-Wooing</em>, the </span><a href="https://www.loc.gov/item/s1229m00557"><span style="font-weight:400;">copyright description</span></a><span style="font-weight:400;"> archived by the Library of Congress gave masculine pronouns for Krazy Kat. I shall keep androgynous and queer to reflect Herriman’s perspective on Krazy Kat and how the audience would have interpreted the short, while also including gay and implicit to reflect the information obtained in the copyright description.</span><br /></span>]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[<p><span>Centered around prohibition enforcement, the aching desire for a drink and a soda fountain that is selling a little extra on the side.<br /><br />This short currently contains the oldest queer coded character in the database. When Silk Hat Harry’s Soda Fountain becomes a popular spot, one of the customers includes a queer coded character, as indicated by his thin physique, eyelashes, defined lips, flashy style, and posture. He originally entered due to his interest in a fruit sundae (a <span style="font-weight:400;">derogatory</span> reference to his queerness), but when he leaves, the treat has physically transformed him into a burly brute who soon destroys a lamppost.</span></p>]]></dcterms:description>
