Description
This is, as the title may already have given a clue of, the first page of a new comic I am doing, featuring Julius the Cat and taking place in Cartoonland.

REFERENCES:

For those who may not know him, Julius the Cat is the Walt Disney Company's oldest recurring character of all. He was first a supporting character in the Laugh-o-Gram cartoon series from 1924 to 1927, and later the deuteragonist and sometimes protagonists of the Alice's Comedies cartoons. As his name implies, Julius is a quick-minded cartoon anthropomorphic black cat, sharing some features with Felix the Cat. He is now, as far as I know, in the public domain — but if he isn't, then I guess he still belongs to the Walt Disney Company.
As for the pigeon postman is, rather obviously, inspired by popular cartoon depictions of carrier pigeons. If you really want to link him to a definite character, it's mainly Yankee Doodle Piegon from the "Wacky Races" spin-off Stop that pigeon !.
The cat is just some random cartoon cat, but his reaction to seeing the pigeon's hammer is taken from "Tom and Jerry" and Tex Avery.
The opening panel and narration is a reference to Richard Williams's The Thief and the Cobbler. More obvious "Thief" allusions, or even characters, are likely to pop up later in the story, unless I change my script.
