Subject Matter

Genres: anthropomorphic

Character(s): Flub the Pup

Synopsis: Hunter Felix finds Flub the Pup pointing at an unconventional (but literal) target.

Reprint Notes:

Miscellaneous

Pages: 1

Notes: Back cover displays two strips of Felix art across its width. The strips, which tell the "pointer gag" in two pantomime illustrations, are each 2 inches high, and are placed at the very top and the very bottom of the back cover.

The story and art for the gag are presumably repurposed from a Felix the Cat Dell comic book, or from Otto Messmer's newspaper comic strip. The remaining back cover space in the center is left blank to contain the name and logo of the business using the comic as a promotional item.
