Click here for more on the book | A few weeks ago, the wonderful new book, "Felix: The Great Comic Book Tails" was released, and I posted a great Felix comic by Otto Messmer, “Felix in Public Elations,” to honor the occasion.That one was from 1953’s Felix the Cat #48 |
But today, thanks to Craig Yoe,
I get to share a full 16-page story
(and my personal favorite!) from the new book.
This one’s called, “Felix Pulls Through” Long before his “Bag of Tricks,” Felix had a magic carpet that transported his to adventures across the world, across space and time, and over the boundaries of fantasy and wild imagination!

These vintage comic stories read like breakneck-paced fever dreams of a master cartoonist cutting loose and having fun!
I love that Otto Messmer was totally unconcerned with continuity or plot or story-arcs or anything else that stand in the way of his brand of pure cartoon joy. |
