	Don Markstein's Toonopedia: Felix the Cat
		Felix the Cat was animation's first superstar, far eclipsing Farmer Alfalfa, Bobby Bumps, Col.
		Felix's success was a direct result of Messmer's great ability to create sight gags, and to express a character's personality through his own unique way of moving.
		When the talkies came in, Felix was quickly eclipsed by Disney's Mickey Mouse, who had made an early and successful transition to sound.

	Felix the Cat (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		Felix was the first cartoon character to attain a level of popularity sufficient to draw movie audiences based solely on his star power.
		Felix has been said to represent a child's sense of wonder, creating the fantastic when it is not there, and taking it in stride when it is. His famous walk—hands behind his back, head down, deep in thought—became a trademark that was analyzed and re-analyzed by critics around the world.
		Felix's expressive tail, which could be a shovel one moment, or an exclamation mark or pencil the next, serves to emphasize that anything can happen in his world.

	Felix the Cat @ Toonarific Cartoons
		Felix was also technically the world's first television star, when, in 1928, a toy statue of the cat was chosen as the image to test RCA's experimental 60-line television transmitter.
		But cats do indeed have nine lives, and it was not long before Felix adapted to the world of sound in a series of cartoons produced in Technicolor by Van Buren studios in 1936, and a 1958 series produced by Casper the Friendly Ghost creator Joe Oriolo.
		But Felix survived this setback, too, creeping into the hearts of children, and of course, onto the walls of many a home in the form of that ubiquitous eye-shaking clock.

	FELIX THE CAT 1
		Felix was created in America by Australian born, newspaper cartoonist Pat Sullivan, although actually drawn and animated on film by Otto Messmer, a young artist Sullivan had met at the Universal Studio in Fort Lee, New Jersey.
		Felix films were then issued as proper one reel subjects, no longer just part of a screen revue.
		Felix was shown to have a mind, often walking up and down in pensive mood, sometimes with a question mark over his head till a solution to his problem was found.

	History of Felix The Cat
		The 13" Felix the Cat figure made of paper mache was placed on a record player turntable and was broadcast using a mechanical scanning disk to an electronic kinescope receiver.

		Felix remained on his turntable for almost a decade as the early experimenters strove towards the goal of a high definition picture.

		Felix made a tremendous success in the 1920's, and, until I know, he is still a very popular cartoon.

		While Felix doesn't exactly win the game, he does find an original way of postponing the outcome to a later date: he beans the god Jupiter with a towering pop up that scorches into the heavens.
