Felix and his Amazing Underpants is a strip in the British comic Viz.
As the simple title suggests, Felix has a pair of underpants that are - so he suggests - possessed of fantastic powers. However, his assumptions are largely incorrect and his attempts to use his underpants to solve the problems of local people usually end up with him either being ridiculed or, at worst, condemned as a sexual pervert. Occasionally, however, he manages to do good deeds with his underwear in order to help out someone in need, for example, using his underpants as a container for a French salesman's onions.
The comic-strip was created by editor Chris Donald, but is now drawn by Lew Stringer.
Famous quotes containing the words felix, amazing and/or underpants:
“The legend of Felix is ended, the toiling of Felix is done;
The Master has paid him his wages, the goal of his journey is won;
He rests, but he never is idle; a thousand years pass like a day,
In the glad surprise of Paradise where work is sweeter than play.”
—Henry Van Dyke (1852–1933)
“One’s gone, one’s born. It’s an amazing process, isn’t it? As many as I’ve delivered, it never fails to awe me.”
—John Lee Mahin (1902–1984)
“Whenever there’s a big war coming on, you should rope off a big field. And on the big day, you should take all the kings and their cabinets and their generals, put ‘em in the center dressed in their underpants and let them fight it out with clubs. The best country wins.”
—Maxwell Anderson (1888–1959)
