Felix the Cat #6

Felix the Cat is suited up in boxing gloves and trunks on this bright, action-packed Dell cover from 1948 — but it's a tiny mouse in red shorts who's clearly pulling the strings, literally tugging Felix along by a rope. The playful role-reversal energy perfectly sets the stage for "Felix in Reverse," and the cheerful yellow background and scattered blue stars give the whole scene an irresistible cartoon bounce. A delightful snapshot of the mischief that made Felix one of comics' most enduring funny-animal stars.
