Hi Readers, Welcome to Felix from 19320925 to 19321008! Felix tries to find a new home in the dailies, but can’t stand a guy with the gout in two feet groaning with pain, and has to crash out of a taxi window to escape paying the fare. He then tries to hitchhike to a Southern clime and gives a little bird a ride on his bindle stick. Soon Felix is carried almost to Dixie by a flock of swallows in the 19321004. Felix is gloomy in the 19321008 but a happy bird makes him change his attitude and he makes a special road sign in the 19321008. Felix is telling his readers to “cheer up” in this strip, in the early part of the Great Depression. The 19320925 Felix Sunday is another Farm page in which Felix tries to start a school for the animals and winds up rounding up twenty cats to go after a goat. I love that last panel with all the cats leaping over a fence, the goat is a great Otto Messmer character design. It isn’t easy to make a goat comical and appealing, but Otto does it here. In the 19321002 Sunday, Felix is thrown out of the house by the farmer. Felix has sympathy for a poor little newly hatched chick who wants to get back into the egg shell, after the chick witnesses what happens to a chicken when it becomes of age! I hope you will enjoy these strips from Felix’s best year and the Cathy Hill Felix design as our page “topper”!
