Paris on Horseback was written and illustrated by French author and cartoonist known as Crafty, whose real name was Victor Eugène Geruzez (1840-1906), specializing in books on horses and hunting. The contents of the book are divided into sections: "Cavalry of Paris," "At the Bois de Boulogne," "At the Races," and "The Art of Falling from the Horse." These satirical and witty observations highlight the transactions and tricks that surrounded acquiring a horse from a Parisian horse dealer. It takes a comical view of French society, the racing world, the horse show, and dressage.

Krazy Kat was a well-known American comic strip which ran from 1913 to 1944, written by George Herriman. The premise, a carefree and quirky love triangle of sorts, nearly always put Krazy Kat in the line of fire of Ignatz the mouse, who often found himself at odds with the police dog, Offisa Pupp. The antics in the Krazy Kat comic were always set against a desert landscape, inspired by the vistas at the author's summer house in Arizona.
