Pat Sullivan claimed during his lifetime to have invented Felix himself. This conventional wisdom lasted until the 1960s, at which time the Sullivan estate's controlling interest in Felix was bought out. With no more need to placate Sullivan's heirs, surviving staffers named longtime lead animator Otto Messmer as Felix's actual creator.
Line 20:
Apart from Messmer, the best-known Felix developer was Joe Oriolo, Messmer's assistant from the 1940s onward. Oriolo took over production of Felix comics and managed the Trans-Lux TV series himself, creating Felix's Magic Bag of Tricks and beloved bad guys such as The Professor, Rock Bottom and Master Cylinder.
During the mid-1980s, Felix co-starred with fellow cartoon icon [[Betty Boop]] in a short-lived comic strip written and drawn by Mort Walker (better known as the creator of ''[[Beetle
Since then, Felix has had on-and-off revivals, from the Japan-only ''Baby Felix'' to the 2004 direct-to-video special ''Felix the Cat Saves Christmas''. Don Oriolo, the current owner of the series, claims that another cartoon series is planned, being done entirely in CGI, due by 2013.

* [[Bankruptcy Barrel]]: In "Felix in the Swim", after Felix and the kid's clothes get eaten by a goat, they go home in barrels. It's pretty odd, since [[Fridge Logic|they had both been in swim trunks when their clothes got eaten, and Felix hadn't been wearing clothing to begin with]].

** In the 1995 series, some episodes didn't feature the Bag of Tricks at all, presumably so more challenging plots could be used. [[Lampshade Hanging|Lampshaded]] in one episode.
*** The Magic Bag wasn't in all the 1950s episodes either; it featured in about thirty percent of the episodes. Oriolo was wise not to overuse it; it made for some funny situations, but it also made Felix borderline infallible.
* [[Missing
* [[Mood Whiplash]]: The opening of "Bold King Cole", where after the first few seconds of Felix singing a very upbeat song, backed up by some very colorful scenery, suddenly cuts straight into a nasty storm scene.
* [[The
* [[No Celebrities Were Harmed]]: Felix is heavily based off of [[Charlie
* [[No Indoor
* [[Overly Prepared
* [[Painting the Fourth Wall]]: A few of the old strips had gags involving Felix's speech balloon, be it him literally eating his own words or using his speech balloon for a...well, literal balloon.
