Pat Sullivan's Felix the Cat #48
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeIn "Public Elations," Otto Messmer delivers a delightfully absurd slice of early 1950s cartoon chaos as Inky the cat climbs an apple tree with a mischievous plan—only to watch in bewildered silence as Pokey Pig swoops in and devours the apple mid-fall. With every line drawn by Messmer himself, the issue captures the pure, unscripted slapstick of classic animation, where a simple apple becomes a moment of silent, surreal comedy. The cover, also by Messmer, perfectly encapsulates the scene’s playful absurdity.
In "Apple... Sourced?", Inky the cat scales a tall apple tree with a mischievous plan, only to have his prize snatched mid-fall by Pokey Pig, who casually munches the fruit before Inky can react. The moment captures a classic slapstick clash of intentions, leaving Inky frozen in disbelief as the core lies abandoned beneath the tree.
