Old cartoon character, actualy got his start in silent shorts back in 1919 and was in a bunch of weird trippy cartoons in the 20s. Stuff with him in it has been produced on and off for a while
That ONEcartoon character that people keep about how he was the first balloon in the Macy's Parade, even though he did NOT appear until 1931, and balloons weren't in the parade until 1928.
Once popular cartoon character that is now know for a vinesauce meme involving Joel getting jumpscared by the game over screen of a bootleg Genesis port of his game and suffering from severe copyright cancer that has seemingly prevented anything new from the franchise being directly made since 2004. Also got renewed interest due to his 90s series "The Twisted Tales of Felix the Cat" being very memeable. In addition the original b&w shorts plus the Van Bueren ones being public domain now. It's a surprisingly deep rabbithole too, but Felix the Cat is like the F-Zero of animation now.
Guy 1: Remember Felix the Cat?
Guy 2: Yeah, he went to get milk and never came back.
