It has been 100 years today since Felix the Cat first debut. But for some reason, his coming of a Century hasn’t been acknowledged, so I set up a scene to how this has impacted him.



Every five to ten years Cartoon Characters and Video Game Characters celebrate their longevity on the days they first debut.
The longer the acknowledgment of being a decade older, shows how popular they still are.
Last Year the 90th Anniversary of Mickey and Minnie Mouse was celebrated worldwide all year round.
Therefore it was supposed to be the biggest celebration of the day A Cartoon Character makes it to 100 years. But for Felix the Cat, it has been barely mentioned.
Through almost the whole other year, he tried to remind other toons of his upcoming 100 birthday, they have been too busy attending some that have turned a decade older.
As his Birthday approached ever closer, he arrived at Scooby Doo’s Anniversary Party to try to remind them again as soon as the party was wrapping up but still, no one took him seriously due to the fact he wasn’t as popular as he used to be.
Then one of the toons, Bugs Bunny made a remark comparing him to Mickey “Ain’t none more popular or influential than Mickey right?” which offended Felix, causing him to snap.
“WRONG!!”
He kicks down the dessert tray in a fit of rage. Everyone stops to watch in shock as Felix storms towards the Exit door.

“Felix, Bugs didn’t mean it like that, he was just joking!” Mickey cries as he ran towards Felix reaching for the doorknob to grab his hand carrying his Special Bag only for him to yank it away.

“You still don’t get the gist of my situation!”
Felix got up at his face poking his chest.
“I’ve been around longer than you, yet everyone knows who you are!
Yeah, 20, 50, maybe 90 years is quite an accomplishment for you guys. But what about me? the Legendary  Felix the Cat, making it to a whole century and no one seems to acknowledge it!

Spongebob then stepped in to reassure him. "But of course we know about your coming of age.”
Felix wasn’t convinced.
“Yeah well, the humans don’t seem to.
It’s not just something special to me, it’s actually a once in a lifetime thing!
It’s not every day a Cartoon Character reaches 100 years! I’m not getting any younger!

"We don’t age, Felix!” Woody interjects.
“WHATEVER!!”

Felix looks to all of the Toons with so much hurt.

“You guys owe me big time… all of you!!! Because none of you would have existed without my influence!
"Not you, or you, or them, NOT EVEN VIDEO GAME CHARACTERS WOULD BE HERE IF NOT  FOR ME!!
He opens the door, stepping out but not before saying this…
"By the way… Congrats on your 20th anniversary Spongebob, and you on you’re 50th Scooby-Doo… But as for you Mickey, come back in ‘Ten More Years’, then we’ll talk!”
Then slams the door causing the other Toons to flinch.

TBC…

From Wiki: (italics mine)
Felix the Cat is a funny-animal cartoon character created in the silent film era. The anthropomorphic black cat with his black body, white eyes, and giant grin, coupled with the surrealism of the situations in which his cartoons place him, combine to make Felix one of the most recognized cartoon characters in film history. Felix was the first character from animation to attain a level of popularity sufficient to draw movie audiences.
By the late 1920s, with the arrival of sound cartoons, Felix's success was fading. The new Disney shorts of Mickey Mouse made the silent offerings of Sullivan and Messmer, who were then unwilling to move to sound production, seem outdated. In 1929, Sullivan decided to make the transition and began distributing Felix sound cartoons through Copley Pictures. The sound Felix shorts proved to be a failure and the operation ended in 1932. Felix saw a brief three-cartoon resurrection in 1936 by the Van Beuren Studios.
In 2014, the rights to the character belonged to Joe Oriolo's son Don Oriolo. They were acquired by DreamWorks Animation, which is now part of Comcast's NBCUniversal division.

the drawing is very good and at the same time sad showing the sadness of a classic cartoon character feeling rejected and forgotten, I always watched the cat Felix and he was important to the history of animation on tv and he evolved from a black and white animated doll. white for the character we love even though not remembered by everyone, but he left a great legacy of famous and charismatic characters, who never laughed at the teacher's clumsiness and his wild helper trying to grab the magic bag of the character and his poindexter nephew who unlike uncle always helps Felix in his adventures, and has the villain master cylinder trying to conquer the world, and has his modernized versions that are very good, and also and baby version of the character that is cute and fun to watch a video on YouTube https://youtu.be/Otl_rsNgIwk , And let's not forget about the acclaimed character-based platform game released for the nes system, and the gameboy games and a Baby Felix tennis game for psone, the classic character may no longer be seen on TV these days, but always It will be in our hearts.

Hollywood can be a very cruel town. All the other and newer stars present need that reminder form time to time. Here's Our Star's debut picture:

Gladly, unlike so many other forgotten stars, Felix managed to get some bank after the camera abandoned him:
