Otto Messmer - Felix the Cat Sunday (1933)

Felix the Cat is iconic, and is my wife’s favorite animated character. I got this for her birthday (it’s not for me, really!). Classic Sunday strip by its long time creator and artist, Otto Messmer. Although Pat Sullivan took the credit, it is well documented that Messmer did all of these 30s Sundays. Messmer was inspired by Winsor McCay’s animated work, and Felix was the first cartoon character created for the screen (as well as the first to be licensed and mass merchandised). This is my first posting of the year - it’s a long time coming, but let’s just say in a couple of weeks I will have two kids in college at the same time. . .
