Hi, All my dear friend~~~ I'm felix (born 1982) . I was the 1'st "TV-STAR" in US. That was the time when RCA's first experimental television transmissions began in 1928 by station W2XBS. That time just using black & white TV. Television broadcast timeline featuring Felix in 1928, 1936 and 1937. From a 1944 Life magazine article.
Felix the Cat had a very humble beginning as a curious and mischievous little cat as first conceived by New Jersey cartoonist Otto Messmer. In no time at all he was more popular than movie stars and world leaders of the same era. His squat, black body and huge, wide eyes and grin were instantly recognizable worldwide. He is considered the first true movie cartoon star. His first appearance was in a short film in the early 1900's called "Feline Follies". Soon thereafter he made the transition to print. King Features syndicated Felix in over 250 newspapers in a multitude of languages, reaching practically every corner of the globe. He's now published through Felix Comics, Inc., in various magazines and publications. Little did anyone know back then that this rather angular Felix would metamorphosize into the rounder, more lovable character he is today.
