Mask Bawl (FANTASTIC FELIX FRIDAY!)

We interrupt our regularly scheduled tales of screaming bloody horror for-- FANTASTIC FELIX FRIDAY! A one-of-a-kind, groundbreaking internet event where eight bloggers of historical comic material join forces in support of "Felix: The Great Comic Book Tails" (IDW/Yoe! Books), a beautiful hardback, full color, art book that lovingly collects the best of brilliant Felix the Cat comic book stories from the 1940s and 50s. In an enthusiastic, united effort, classic Felix comic stories will be posted on each blog today, Friday September 24th (more details listed below after the story.) Some of the "tails" seen on the blogs are from the new book, and some are from the bloggers personal collections of comics featuring Felix. So fear not THOIA freaks, the Felix story that Karswell has picked for you today still features ghosts, witches, dragons, shotgun blasts, etc.

As mentioned above, each blogger is linking to the other participating blogs, creating a Felix Maelstrom of Mirth throughout the blog-o-sphere! The other participating blogs are as follows:

Craig Yoe edited this amazing book, which is jam-packed with rare Felix art, ephemera, animation insights, and, of course, a plethora of comic book stories by Otto Messmer, Joe Oriolo, and Jim Tyer. And Don Oriolo, the son of Joe Oriolo, and head of Felix the Cat Productions, wrote the heartfelt introduction!
