After a series of legal battles between 1912 and 1914, Dirks left the Hearst organization and began a new strip, first titled Hans und Fritz and then The Captain and the Kids.

The two separate versions of the strip competed with each other until 1979, when The Captain and the Kids ended its six-decade run.

The Katzenjammer Kids ( three brothers in the first strip but soon reduced to two ) featured Hans and Fritz, twins who rebelled against authority, particularly in the form of their mother, Mama ; der Captain, a shipwrecked sailor who acted as a surrogate father ; and der Inspector, an official from the school system.

John Dirks ' drawing shifted slightly towards a more square-formed line, though it maintained the original style until The Captain and the Kids ended its run in 1979.
