In "Felix Goes On Record," the legendary cat takes a whimsical turn when he buys a recording machine to settle a sleep-related debate—only to discover he does snore. What begins as a lighthearted experiment quickly spirals into an unexpected adventure as Felix starts capturing everything from animal noises to the suspicious plans of two crooks plotting a bank robbery. Written, drawn, and inked by Otto Messmer, this 1953 gem features his distinctive art on both story pages and the cover, all rendered in the signature style that defined the character’s golden era.
