The strips are from 9-25 to 10-1-1933 and 10-2 to 10-8-1933. Danny Dooit wants to sell Felix&#8217;s services as a mascot to a couple of fighters in the 9-28 and 9-29 strips. Otto Messmer&#8217;s fight scenes are nearly as full of &#8220;sock&#8221; as Segar&#8217;s Thimble Theatre comics. In the 10-2 to 10-7 dailies, Felix tries to be a mascot for Olaf the Plumber. He wins Olaf&#8217;s friendship by chasing a mouse away from the plumbing. I like the speed lines and quick crash in to a sandwich board in the Sunday page from 10-8. Otto&#8217;s composition in the last panel as the sandwich board turns in to an airplane with Felix aboard has a lot of depth.\u00c2\u00a0 How about those funny Felix faces in the &#8220;Felix Movies&#8221; toppers? Remember, just click on the strips to enlarge them. Enjoy the comics, and I&#8217;ll be back soon.
