Alias the Cat!

Alias the Cat is a graphic novel by American cartoonist Kim Deitch, published by Pantheon Books in 2007.

It's about a character named Alias the Cat who appeared in 1915 in a comic strip and a serial film, as well as in real life as a freedom-fighting superhero, but who mysteriously disappears.

The owner, known as Keller, suggests going to the bar to discuss prices, though instead begins his story of how he came into possession of the toy.

The story shifts narrators again to Frankie's point of view, describing how he was shipwrecked on a paradisaical island until Waldo appears.

The rest of the book follows Kim and Pam researching Alias the Cat, the costume being from a 1915 feature film.
