Review # 1 was written on 2010-06-20 00:00:00 Paul Sespa Cupid's arrow seems to be working overtime in the 4th volume of Popeye comic strip reprints. Wimpy romances the Sea Hag and even Olive Oyl (upon hearing of her inheriting $20 million). Spurned by Olive's new-found snobbery, Popeye rescues a beautiful heiress named June Vanripple who finds his ugliness ruggedly attractive (shades of Bukowski!). There's a lot of romance, weird, but its okay, there's still tons of seafarin' and boxing matches to enjoy. Popeye rules.

Review # 2 was written on 2017-07-30 00:00:00 C L Butterworth These Fantagraphics collections of E.C. Segar's classic "Popeye" strips are a treasure. A strange, but sublime, mixture of slapstick, verbal comedy, and mock adventure, they are all the explanation needed as to why such a bizarre character became such a beloved, and recognizable cultural icon of the 20th century. (Of course, the cartoons helped a lot.)
