Felix sues clock
Felix, the world’s oldest cat, has reached into his bag of tricks to whip out a lawsuit.
The Otto Messmer creation who first appeared in Pat Sullivan cartoons dating as far back as 1912’s Felix Saves The Day has taken offense at the popular Kit-Kat Klock. The clock dates back to the 1930s; it’s taken Felix a bit of time to file the papers. Next time, he should pull an opposable thumb out of his bag of tricks. However, it should be noted that the Kit-Kat Klock had been marketed in the past as the "Felix Clock."
Felix has been a perennial in comic books as well as on television and in both silent movies and talkies. Kit-Kat Klocks are no relation to the popular candy bar, whose manufacturers may be waiting on deck for their turn at bat.
Yeah! I'm wrong! No complaints. The writing, art, the whole story has a nice flow to it this issue. Well done.It's nice to see the framing device of the young woman recalling the events of her childhood be touched on again. It's much clearer that she is actually talking to the "White Viper" and that she is telling her own story.I'm glad that the bandits were not ignored by the story. But I'm also glad that everyone wasn't wiped out by them again. The wolves are back. Cool. And we are left with a cliffhanger. Nice.Fro me, there is something more ominous in the phrase "the beautiful girls were sent to the place of souls" than even the glare of the dark wolves.I feel like a big revelation is going to be made in the next issue. I want to guess. But for once I will try to control myself.
White Viper #5 deserves a unique cover, separate from #4. I'm guessing that most people who read #4 don't know that this is a new issue yet. I'll suggest that the red eyed wolves and shocked young boy at the top of page 25 would make a nice cover. Has the "Cover Cropper" (and I'm guessing that's Glenn) been on vacation this week?
