I came across this woefully off-model Felix the Cat in an ad in a 1938 Australian Buck Rogers comic. It got me wondering if there are enough poorly drawn examples of well-known GA characters to warrant a thread... so here we are. What ya got?

Dentistry aside, I didn't think he looked that bad Andy 

Alas, I can't contribute any other examples as I haven't got any gold despite panning for years. 

But I do like the look of this fellow, accurately portrayed or otherwise:

I'm marooned without my Fantastic Comics #9 scan right now, or I could pretty much end this thread.

Not a comic but this 1930's Mickey Mouse / Betty Boop toy from Japan sure pushes the envelope.

That Felix artwork is amazing. There's so much awesome off model goodness from around the world...

Nicely done @catman76 - some beauties there.

I suspect that international editions will be a rich source for this thread. Paging @Komic Kazi International
