Bartholdy Felix Mendelssohn, born on this day in 1911, who founded
Felix Mendelssohn's Hawaiian Serenaders, the British Hawaiian band who popularized island music in Britain in the 1930s and '40s. And yes, he had a comic strip. (Doesn't everybody?) Look, see!:
"The White Queen of the Islands" in Radio Fun Annual 1948 (Amalgamated Press UK, 1948), creators uncredited and unknown
Hauʻoli Lā Hānau, Felix!
