Joe Oriolo/TransLux Felix the Cat

2018 marks the anniversary of that little moggy, est.1919, as a TV star, and this as his existence, 100 years.

I'll be dealing with the classic TV series from 1958-1962 in days, weeks, and months to come...

Producer-director Joe Oriolo, singer Anna  Benntt, composer Winston Sharples, and storyman-voice Jack Mercer headed the people that included Grim Natwick, Jimmy Tyer, and other NYC(and sometiumes elsewhere) animation legends.
