Felix the Cat first appeared on November 9, 1919, in "Feline Follies." He was created by Otto Messmer for the Pat Sullivan studio. He quickly became famous, holding a spot as the world's most popular cartoon character until Mickey Mouse came onto the scene.
The arms & legs are jointed & can be easily moved & posed. The head swivels a full 360 degrees. It has glass eyes, felt ears, a stitched nose & a stitched mouth. One other feature is unusual – it has a hump back. The hump is pronounced.
Humped back and sharp ears... Frightening kitten ;-)
Anyway, have to love him!
kyra, Thank you! I fell in love with ol' Felix! Will scare the mice for sure and maybe even the dogs!!
I had no idea Felix was around that long. Looks like long before the professor and the magic bag.
fortapache, He is a damned old cat!
