Felix the Cat cartoon strips / drawn by Pat Sullivan, ca. 1925-PXD 946
Some of you will remember our colleague Judy Nelson and her fascination with Felix the cat and the debate over his origins. She curated an exhibition called "Reclaiming Felix" based on material in our collections. It will be interesting to see with the news of Dreamworks animation studio buying the rights to a big screen adaptation what fun the feline still has in his bag of tricks.
By the way, the picture of two children taking tea with a Felix doll in our work area is from the exhibition. Interestingly, the children are the actress Kate Fitzpatrick and her brother. The toy Felix was a gift from Mo himself Roy Rene!
