Popeye Vol. 1: "I Yam What I Yam" by E. C. Segar
Pat and I went to a big show of comic art a few years ago that included original stuff by E.C. Segar. I liked them so much that I asked him to get me this collection, and over the years he got me all six volumes. In 1919 the strip, Thimble Theatre, featured Ham Gravy and Olive Oyl, then Olive's brother Castor was added and most of the 1920s stories were about his get rich quick schemes. When he needed to take his luck-bestowing African Whiffle Hen to an island casino in order to win show more millions, he hired Popeye to sail the boat, and the latter was such a colorful character that he took over the strip.
I finally started reading and it's hilarious. The humor is surreal and dry, absurd and charming. I'm loving it, and haven't forgotten that Popeye on TV cartoons was one of my first childhood crushes. show less

Thimble Theatre. Selección de planchas dominicales by Segar
Muy buena selección. Las páginas no llegan al nivel de las protagonizadas por Popeye, pero muestran un gran nivel, especialmente las del periodo 1928-1930 y la larga aventura en el desierto, donde Segar crea excelentes páginas y da grandes ejemplos del humor surrealista que caracterizaba su obra.
