![]() ![]() Crossover: The whole premise of the series.The Cameo: Betty's old friends Bimbo and Koko the Clown make a cameo appearance in one comic strip.Eventually, Felix was dropped from the strip altogether when King Features Syndicate realized they didn't actually have the rights to use him, making it a solo Betty Boop comic from then on. Betty herself was the main focus of the comic, with Felix himself usually being off to the side. Betty was very much the Jon Arbuckle to Felix's Garfield, an owner & her pet cat, and a lot of the humor in this strip relied mostly on name-dropping current celebrities and puns. He never spoke and had neither a detachable tail nor his Magic Bag of Tricks. The Felix of this continuity was a lot closer in personality to Garfield in that he was given acerbic things to say via thought balloons. ![]() Alternate Continuity: Felix acts as a normal, non speaking house pet to Betty Boop, basically replacing Pudgy the dog from Betty's own cartoons.Adapted Out: Felix's Cartoony Tail abilities and the Magic Bag of Tricks are absent from this series.Adaptational Personality Change: Granted, the whole franchise is rather inconsistent with Felix's personality, but the Betty Boop & Felix incarnation of Felix is by far the most brazenly changed in character, since it turns him into an Expy of Garfield, complete with speaking with thought balloons and saying acerbic things in his head.It is a crossover comic between the classic cartoon characters Betty Boop and Felix the Cat, although Betty Boop is the main focus of the stories, as Felix mainly acts as her housepet and only speaks through thought balloons. Betty Boop and Felix is a King Features Syndicate newspaper comic, running from 1984 to 1988, being written by Brian, Morgan, Greg and Neal Walker, the sons of Beetle Bailey creator Mort Walker. ![]()
