This is "Top Hat", one of Heath Robinson's, from 1916. There may be more to follow - his pen-and-ink drawings lend themselves to screenprinting.

FELIX THE CAT - NEW SCREENPRINT
Posted by John Reynolds on
FELIX THE CAT WINKS - NEW SCREENPRINT These are my first prints to feature Felix the Cat, created in 1919, and still one of the most important cartoon characters ever devised. I'm very pleased how these have turned out ... but as you can see, have experimented with the best way to print the image. I've produced a two-colour version, and two monochrome ones, one of which is on red paper. Which do you prefer?
