In "Flinging a Flute Plug," Felix the Cat lands a plum gig as the pet of a wealthy tycoon, thanks to his quick work retrieving a lost collar button just before a major speech. The tycoon’s resentful butler, Snobbs, isn’t thrilled about the new addition to the household—and his scheming ways are already stirring. Written, drawn, and inked by Otto Messmer, this 1949 Dell comic captures the classic charm of the character with crisp art and playful mischief. The cover, also by Messmer, perfectly captures the moment of high-stakes pet adoption.

In "Wise Eyes," Felix the Cat tries his hand at hypnotism after reading his own guidebook, only to find that his attempts to control the mind—his own included—lead to one chaotic mishap after another. With every snap or sudden noise waking his subjects at the worst possible moments, Felix’s self-proclaimed mastery quickly spirals into a series of slapstick predicaments.
