Van Beuren Studio Ad For Felix The Cat

Felix the cat cartoons began in the era of silent movies, but the production of those cartoons ceased after talkies came in. In 1936 a new series began at the Van Beuren studio.

Unfortunately, the Van Beuren studio closed after completing three cartoons in the series. Felix the Cat would later be revived for television.

The Black Condor

The Black Condor has to be one of the stupidest superheroes ever. Raised by condors as an infant, he somehow was supposed to have gained the ability to fly, presumably from eating worms. But the stories could be entertaining and are noted for having good art, usually by Lou Fine and Reed Crandall. This particular story has art by John Cassone and dates to 1942.

I thought having the villainess killed - her death being caused by the hero - while the main villain escaped was a questionable ending.
