Indexer Notes

Story starts on inside front cover and ends on inside back cover.

More of a linear and cohesive story, keeping to a minimum the frequent non-sequiturs of some of the other Dell Felix strip reprints of a similar vintage.

Seven repurposed action poses of Felix, two of which feature Skidoo.

Indexer Notes

Back cover displays two yellow strips across its width. The strips are each 1.5 inches high, and are placed at the very top and the very bottom of the back cover. Within these strips are various action poses of Felix, presumably repurposed from the Felix the Cat 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.

After chasing Skidoo, roller skating, pitching a baseball, frying a fish, etc. the final "action pose" of Felix finds the cat asleep.
