Disclose Notes: According to Felix expert and historian David Gerstein, author of "Nine Lives to Live a Classic Felix Celebration by Otto Messmer" (1996, Fantagraphics Books), Messmer did some pencil art during the Harvey run - but with different inkers, so his work here less reflects his more classic works of the newspaper strip and the Dell and Toby Press comics. Per indexer's personal conversation with David Gerstein (2022).

Synopsis: Felix gulps down a dose of "Magic Sleeping Water" and is welcomed into the pleasant wonders of Dreamland, until rudely awakened by an angry cat-loathing lady. The "drinking, sleeping, dreaming, and rude awakening" series of events repeats two more times. Then, drinking a FOURTH helping of the "Magic Sleeping Water" and returning to Dreamland, Felix finds that he has "used-up" the number of times he is allowed to visit Dreamland in a single day. The King of Dreamland orders him to be expelled.

Disclose Notes: A reworking of many of the elements of the story "Cold-Cold Discomfort" in Felix the Cat Winter Annual (Toby, 1954 Series) #2 (Winter 1954), which was reformatted from a 1934 continuity of Otto Messmer's original Felix newspaper strips also dubbed "Cold-Cold Discomfort".

Messmer additionally reworked this concept (overstaying in Dreamland, nightmare ride, and all) into "Felix in Screamland" for Felix the Cat (Dell, 1948 Series) #11 (October-November 1949).


The panels in which Felix is seen in the "real world" are conventionally rectangle or square shaped. Those in which he is in Dreamland have soft, fluffy corner edges to them.

Subject Matter
Genres: anthropomorphic

When the entire Dreamland army charges against Felix, he hopes to get away on a horse from the Dreamland Stables. Unfortunately, the horse he chooses is a "night-mare" which carries him into the air and, in rapid succession, turns into a dragon, an octopus, a shark, and a description-defying elongated sea monster. After finally escaping, Felix accidently wanders into the sector of Dreamland called "Nightmare Land".
