In "Bagging a Duck," Felix the Cat takes a whimsical journey through history, inventing everything from the bulldog to the compass, all while helping a jester make a king laugh with a crystal ball. Written and illustrated by Otto Messmer, with additional art by Jim Tyer and inks by Messmer, Joe Oriolo, and Jack Bogle, this 1947 Four Color comic delivers classic slapstick charm. The cover, also by Messmer, captures the zany spirit of the tale in bold, expressive lines.
