Felix Home Alone
Hi Readers, Here’s Felix from 19320828 to 19320910. The Sundays involve the farm animals rehearsing for the Summer Olympic Games, and Felix winning the shot put and broad jump. Pipe those cut-out Felix play money lucky bucks! In the dailies, Felix is left home alone by the snooty family. Snobbs the butler gets back in to the action in the 9-10 and kicks Felix out of the house again. Felix is accosted by Skidoo the Mouse in the 9-1, but defeats the rodents in the 9-6. My favorite in this batch of dailies is the 9-8, in which a strange cat is put out for the night by Felix, so he can see how if feels. I love Otto’s alternate designs for cats, they are all appealing, but never more than Felix. Speaking of appealing, Cathy Hill has contributed another header to the blog this time with her rough sketches, inspired by Otto Messmer drawings of the 1930s. I like Felix running two different ways with a puzzled version of Felix looking on. Enjoy all these wonderful comics, see you soon! Mark

The parrot looks like the one from Disney’s When the Cat’s Away.
I just bought The Golden Collection of Klassic Krazy Kool Kids Comics and it had one of Messmer’s Felix comic books, where he fixes the world from its gloom. I wish Felix were here today!
