Description:
(Animator) Otto James Messmer was an American animator known for his significant contributions to the Felix the Cat cartoons and comic strip produced by the Pat Sullivan studio. Despite ongoing debates about his precise involvement in the character's development and success, Messmer's work on Felix the Cat stands as a notable part of animation history. It was only after Sullivan's passing, who had previously been acknowledged as the creator of Felix, that Messmer publicly asserted his claim to the character's creation.
