Felix is out walking the street
in deep reflection about his life.  

Everyone knows “what” he is,
but no one knows “who” he is.  

He has to find a way
for self expression.  

Looking around on city walls,
he gets an idea.

Felix steals three cans of spray paint—
one red, one white, and one blue.

Late at night,
when no one’s looking,
Felix climbs up a building wall,
facing the El.  

He paints his message—

“Hey, I’m Felix,
I’m the greatest for action,
just call --- --- ----.”

Felix likes the way it looks.

I am so glad to see the return of Felix, and I hope he finds himself in his expression.

Felix has been expressing himself for years.  He's all mouth.
