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.

“With us justice is the true measure of religion.”

“Men are the enemies of women. Promising sublime intimacy, unequalled passion, amazing security and grace, they nevertheless exploit and injure in a myriad subtle ways. Without men the world would be a better place: softer, kinder, more loving; calmer, quieter, more humane.”
—Ann Oakley (b. 1944)
“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)
