This time it&#8217;s booby traps, I especially like the 5-1 as Offissa Pupp unwinds about 70 yards of fake mouse tail from under the box.<br \/>\n<a href='https:\/\/itsthecat.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/felix-4-16-to-4-22-33.jpg' title='felix-4-16-to-4-22-33.jpg'><img src='https:\/\/itsthecat.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/felix-4-16-to-4-22-33.jpg' alt='felix-4-16-to-4-22-33.jpg' \/><\/a><br \/>\nFelix is still time-travelling in the stone age in the 4-16, and being envious of Danny Dooit&#8217;s celebrity in the 4-17 through 4-22s. I love the way Otto draws the dinosaurs in the 4-16, sort of like Winsor McCay, but less of a feeling of bone structure and simpler shapes. The cave man reminds me of Elzie Segar&#8217;s drawings, and the greeting card made of stone is a harbinger of the Fleischer Stone Age cartoons of 1940.<br \/>\nI haven&#8217;t updated the old Catblog in several months, but who cares? I have no readers, and never hear from any of you. Of course, Itza and I would LOVE to hear from you at kausler@att.net, but I&#8217;m sure you&#8217;re too busy to write. My screening at the Union hall back in May was not too well attended, about 26 people showed up. In June I did a show and animation workshop in Ojai.  I made the bonehead play of all time when I packed up all the film equipment and cables for the show, but forgot the FILMS! A friend loaned me a bunch of his 16mm prints, which we ran instead, and it was just as well as we drew a massive audience of ONE, a very nice lady named Dorothy. So as they said in the old Hal Roach comedy &#8220;A Lad and A Lamp&#8221;, &#8220;the small time&#8217;s not so hot anymore&#8221;. Not even the kids care about cartoons anymore, at the Union hall the only child in attendance spent most of the show in a corner punching his iphone.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Dudley Fisher&#8217;s art is up to it&#8217;s usual standard in the Myrtle strips from 1-17 to 1-23-1949.
