1 Comment TIL the look of the cartoon character Felix the Cat is based on images from minstrel shows and racist caricatures called pickaninnies. Minstrelsy tropes worked well for creating a cartoon animal. The tropes cued audiences to expect a rebellious, active, amusing character. by whatilearned January 15, 2022, 2:11 pm 12 Points Upvote Downvote
