Here’s a badly damaged example I scanned of a Thimble Theatre<\/em> Sunday strip with a Sappo<\/em> and Popeye’s Cartoon Club<\/em> header from March 31, 1935 by Elzie Segar. Segar’s Thimble Theatre<\/em> is simultaneously one of the best humor and best adventure strips of all time… and Segar also had the best header strips! I love the Popeye’s Cartoon Club<\/em> strips… someone should do a book of just those strips for kids. <\/p>\n

Don’t miss the fantastic Fantagraphics Popeye books.<\/a>\"\" The Popeye the Sailor DVD sets<\/a>\"\" that have been coming out recently look very cool too… I hope to get the Fleischer ones when I have the money to spare someday. Good time to be a Popeye fan.<\/p>\n
