Debuting at the height of Garfield's popularity, this King 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 in thought balloons. Also, Felix's squash and stretch abilities and magic bag are absent, and Betty's sex appeal is downplayed.[2]
