Hi Folks, Our special header this time is by my favorite cartoonist and artist, Cathy Hill, inspired by Otto Messmer’s art, called “Felix On The Rocking Horse”. I love the Felix rug on the floor and the little duck following the rocking horse, ably rendered in Prismacolor pencils.\u00a0 Thanks, Cathy! The Felix strips this time are from 19320814 to 19320827. In the dailies, Felix goes camping with the selfish wealthy man and his wife, but has a miserable time of it. Felix grows tired of being kicked and starved, so he goes home to the wealthy family’s town house in the city, and takes up residence while the couple are still roughing it. I love the 8-25 with the owl being gagged, and the giant prehistoric fish skeleton in the 8-23. Look at the beautiful stippling effect Otto tried in the 11th and 12th panels of the 8-14 Sunday as the dogs bust a vacuum\u00a0 cleaner bag, thinking it’s a sausage. In the 8-21 Sunday, in panel 5, Felix gets konked with a rock, not unlike Garge Herriman’s Krazy Kat! I hope you enjoy little Felix’s 1932 adventures and keep watching for the next batch! Comically, Mark<\/p>\n
