About Felix the Cat: Comicalamities (1928)

Felix the Cat was the first cartoon superstar. Created at Pat Sullivan's studio, where Otto Messmer did most of the animating, the black cat with the wide grin starred in well over a hundred silent shorts in the 1920s, famous for surreal gags in which Felix turns his own tail, or a question mark floating over his head, into whatever tool he needs.

This was a hard Felix the Cat Cartoon to find. It isn't in the greatest of shape, but any copy is better than no copy. I hope you enjoy it.
