Cruelty To Felix


 

Hi Readers, Here’s another two weeks worth of Felix the Cat from 19320911 to 19320924. I think you might accuse Otto Messmer of Cruelty to Animals in these comics, for Felix is butted by a goat, socked with crockery, beaten up and kicked out of the house by Snobbs the butler and has his arm fractured and body chewed up by a vicious dog! Felix brought the latter dog attack on himself by trying to placate his steady date, Phyllis. Felix decides to leave his current home after the “Mawster” proposes to import mice into the house to keep “that cat” busy. In the Sunday pages, Felix is still throwing his animal Olympic games with the Farm animals. In the 9-11 a pig with a cold propels Felix to win the marathon race by sneezing him across the finish line. The rabbit says: “..you can’t beat Felix”. In the 9-18, Felix wins the Olympic Hammer Throw by tossing a convict’s weighted ball and leg irons, thus winning the 5 Thousand dollar reward money. Felix puts himself in solid with the farmer by paying off his mortgage.

My favorite cartoonist, Cathy Hill, contributed a few of her Felix drawings for our Catblog header this time, with the theme, “Felix Eats”. She loves Felix, and draws sketches of him nearly every day. I hope you enjoy Felix on the Catblog, see you soon!
