The worldwide popularity of the silent film star Felix the Cat peaked in the mid-1920s, when cartoons about the extraordinary cat were watched all over the world.
Images of Felix, whose name means "luck," were used as mascots in sports and...
aviation.
There is even a legend that Charles Lindbergh took a Felix toy on board his plane during his transatlantic flight. And although this legend has long been debunked, its existence does not allow one to doubt the character's popularity. However, for its creator, Pat Sullivan, the black cat did not bring good fortune. A demanding schedule for releasing new episodes and feature films led to alcoholism and depression. And the reluctance to give Felix a voice, along with Pat's death in 1933, led his animation studio to ruin.
Interest in Felix gradually faded, and new adventures were only released in comic books. Until in the late 1950s, Joseph Oriolo gave Felix a magic suitcase in a new animated series.
In this anthology, we have collected stories about Felix the Cat by artist Otto Messmer, published by Dell Publishing and Toby Press from 1948 to 1953.
