‘toons out the yinyang
A treasure, a total timesink, get lost in Don Markstein's Toonopedia. One of my favorite cartoons
was Felix the Cat, who, according to Toonopedia, was animation's first star - appearing in 1919!
I love the silent ones, but also the 60s version. As far as the silent version goes, I love them because Otto Messmer managed to capture the essence of cat. I also loved just about anything Terrytoons, like Heckle & Jeckle and Mighty Mouse.
And Toonopedia has an entry devoted to Krazy Kat, one of the earliest newspaper comic strip characters.
