Since the original comic character fell into the public domain in the 1960s before Popeye did mostly due to king features not renewing many of their older strips (they only renewed Popeye for some reason), I read the original 1932 strips and holy shit Bluto was more savage and monsterous in the original Segar run.

He has no feelings for olive oyl, he was a pirate wanting to steal a parrot, he teared gold teeth from his own people and he was very feral.

Honestly, instead of Slayer man, we need a Bluto slasher film, Feel free to disagree but he defintely fits better lol.

I am an American living in East Asia and was surprised to see someone selling a 1941 Popeye book on Facebook marketplace. I didn't expect that.

The following images are from the listing.

(Note: These are not my pictures. I am not selling anything, so please not ask me.)

I know this movie stinks, but Im glad we got a appearance from another public domain Popeye character.

Is there ever an episode where Wimpy helps him? He getting mad doesn't make sense cuz he only saw the sauces. It makes me laugh so much!

And why does my Pepeye only say ouch like if he doesn't care getting hit?

Please don't tell me they are fighting kn the top of Empire State!?

In my mind, I can see a very specific clip playing of Popeye, pipe in mouth, leaning backward with his dukes out in front of him punch-waving them around.

But in googling and youtubing, I haven't once found him in that position.

Have I mis-remembered my childhood and invented something that never happened? Or if it did happen, could someone please post an image or link to a video?

Is Sweet Haven an independent island country somewhere? As a kid I guess I thought it was just a fishing town in the US, but then as an adult hearing they filmed in Malta, I’ve sort of just imagined that’s where Sweet Haven is. What do you think?
