Whys and Otherwise

In the whimsical, often chaotic world of early animation, 'Whys and Otherwise' presents Felix the Cat in a familiar domestic predicament. After a night of boisterous, perhaps over-indulgent, revelry, Felix returns to his exasperated wife, armed not with an apology but with a trio of increasingly improbable alibis. His spouse, an embodiment of long-suffering patience armed with a formidable rolling pin, demands an explanation for his tardiness. What follows is a delightful descent into Felix’s imaginative, albeit transparently fabricated, narratives, each more absurd than the last, as he attempts to spin tales grand enough to distract from his transgression and evade the inevitable consequences of a very late night out.
