Pat Sullivan's Felix the Cat #50
In "Royal Flush," Felix the Cat flees Earth on his magic carpet, fed up with his master’s endless card games and the resulting hunger. His escape leads him to a bizarre world where everyone is a playing card—kings, queens, and jacks of the four suits—and his disdain for cards lands him in trouble with the Jack of Clubs. Written and illustrated entirely by Otto Messmer, this 1954 classic features a delightfully absurd twist on a familiar theme, with Messmer’s distinctive art bringing the card-themed realm to life on both the interior pages and the cover.
