10 Secrets Hidden In Famous Comics
7. Felix The Cat In Spider-Man - Various
Having worked on comics since 1985, it's safe to say that Todd McFarlane has had a long time drawing every superhero and spandex outfit under the sun - which is likely why he decided to spice things up a bit.
As Todd's own recount goes, the artist would frequent a comic store in Vancouver, where he would often see a war vet buying Felix the Cat comics - and only Felix the Cat comics. Fascinated by this undeniably unique trait, McFarlane asked the man if he would buy the comics he made if he started putting Felix the Cat in them, to which the man agreed.
This one interaction would spark a series of Easter eggs throughout Todd's work, as he continually snuck the animated cat into the pages of Spider-Man, half in order to please this mysterious comic-buyer, and likely half for his own amusement. Should you ever like to play Where's Waldo with a run of comics, the little furry felines could provide a scavenger hunt for the ages - or at least until you get bored.
