Felix the Cat signed sketch by Don Oriolo and NYCC t-shirt

Felix the Cat was created as a cartoon character in the early 1920s by Otto Messmer. The comic strip was syndicated by King Features in 250 newspapers around the world. Felix is credited as the first animated television star when Messmer sold a paper mache doll to sit on camera for RCA's first experimental television transmissions in 1928.
  In the 1950s, Joe Oriolo created the "talking" Felix animated cartoon series (and the character Caspar the Friendly Ghost) with a new "long-legged" version of Felix that was approved by Messmer. Now, Joe's son, Don Oriolo is carrying on the work of his father. At the NYCC this year, Don signed this sketch of Felix, and I picked up the very orange T-shirt. Visit the Felix the Cat Store.
