Four Color #162

"Filling the Coop" is a delightfully whimsical 1947 tale from Otto Messmer, the legendary creator of Felix the Cat, who wrote, drew, inked, and lettered every page. When Felix is swept up in a sudden cyclone, he wakes to find himself the unexpected owner of a fully furnished house—only to be swarmed by relatives eager to claim their share of the space. A charming, surreal slice of early animation-inspired comic storytelling, this Four Color #162 entry showcases Messmer’s signature blend of absurdity and charm.
