An early comic strip by George Herriman. The titular "family upstairs" is [[The Ghost|never seen]]; the audience only sees the (usually angry) reactions of the inhabitants of the apartment below them to the annoying noises, escaped pets, and so on. It is chiefly notable for a tiny companion strip that ran alongside it that featured [[Krazy Kat|a couple of characters that later became much more well-known]]. |

* [[Animal Jingoism]]: One series of strips, narrated by Ignatz, goes into the history of mouse/kat rivalry--it seems that the Golden Age of Mice came to an abrupt halt as soon as a kat arrived on shore and started eating all the citizens. Therefore, "Ignatz the Avenger", as he styles himself, holds that Krazy deserves every brick he gets. |
