I would bring the queers felix image into adobe illustrator for image trace and then into photoshop for proper coloring.

yes i would too, but i have a career and a life. ;)

i'll draw it from scratch if i have to, otherwise i'll keep looking for the right source. if you would like to follow the course you've suggested, i'll wait to get a file from you.

and the subtitle is a sans italic, likely helvetica or arial. i'll play around with my source scan and spec it properly...it's what i do for a living.

private birthday party, 1996. note that tom has given up on his gibson lightning strap. he wears this other marbled, textured strap throughout 1996:

I know this may seem strange, but by any chance do you know the brand of this strap? I know the lightning one is Gibson and the plain black one is Ernie Ball, but I've been searching for this one for months and nothing turned up.

Yeah. All I know is that both of them are leather straps I think.

Yeah. Upon closer inspection, that definetely is not times. The subtitle is definetely a sans italic of a sort

He got it from the same image that Elisa found. When my friend printed it, he colored it with purple and pink.

felix the cat is quite simple all you do is outline in pink and body parts like tail and hair and body are purple mayhe 1 inch outline

do you have a production file for this? (i.e. .psd etc). because i can take what you have and integrate the lettering.

That Vandals font comes from the album cover of Live Fast, Diarrhea. You could use this.vandals-the-504a73ab14a1a.png 

yea, it's franklin gothic condensed, the same typeface used by the descendents.

The_Vandals_-_Live_Fast,_Diarrhea_cover.

i typeset it in franklin, and then had to stretch the proportions a bit (you should never, ever stretch type, but it's the vandals, so i forgive 'em). redrew all the beziers over a super high res scan of the live fast cover art, and voila:
