Description:

Popeye is a character best known as the spinach-eating sailor man from the Max Fleischer animated shorts. Yet he originally appeared in comic strips of E. C. Segar as early as 1929. Publisher Stewart Tabori & Chang has put together a series of 30 postcards featuring art from Popeye's long history. Some of the shots seem made for postcards, like the one of Popeye and Olive Oyl kissing. But some are interestingly obscure shots that are testaments to the quirkiness of the original strip. Example: Olive Oyl telling Popeye "I want to be loved like the lumberjacks love." My only disappointment in this beautiful package is the lack of dates indicating when the illustrations first appeared.
