Betty Boop and Felix is anewspapercomic strip starringBetty Boop andFelix the Cat, which ran from November 19, 1984, to January 31, 1988.[1] It was written byMort Walker's sons Brian, Morgan, Greg and Neal, who signed their work as "The Walker Brothers".
Debuting at the height ofGarfield's popularity, thisKing Features Syndicate strip showed Betty Boop as a working woman and Felix as her pet (replacing Pudgy as Betty's pet). Unlike most other incarnations of the famous cat, Felix never spoke in this strip; his ideas and opinions are conveyed to the reader inthought balloons. Also, Felix'ssquash and stretch abilities and magic bag are absent, and Betty's sex appeal is downplayed.[2]
