Secondary shock from this: Popeye was a redhead?! How have I gone this long without knowing that?
Sure, later media has him keep his hat on or else he has only a few wispy hairs if any at all, but I feel like I should have seen this at some point in the past few decades.
Those really weren't for kids, were they
Is this real? Did they really have Olive Oyl asking Popeye to ruin her pussy?
It looks real, and the follow-up gets weirder.
Ah yes "The Dream of the Fisherman's Wife"
Oh my gawd, her feet in that last cell
You know that thing where stick someone in a latex sack and suck all the air out of it so it compresses them? I feel like she would be into that.
Hmmm this shows up right after the post on pegnog. Oh Popeye. New meaning to the poop deck.
I can only imagine the following panel of Popeye crushing a can of spinach open and then the next panel after that is an ambulance parked in front of their house, along with a police car.
A quick search found the following panels here, if anyone is interested:
Olive Oyl revealing her tentacle fetish wasn't in my bingo card.
Didn't realise my favourite hentai was such a classic!
Well, dang!
A lot of the old Popeye hasn't aged too well for me, often being on the repetitive and dull side, but this sequence is hilarious, sharp, and has aged really well IMO. So... we're looking at a date of... Dec 19th, 1937, is it?
I did some searching and I'm seeing 1937 and 1938, so yeah, that's probably about right.
i mean mood
Of all the things I didn't expect to learn about Olive Oyl...
I kinda want to check something on AO3 right now.
It's requests like that which end in torn perineums
Bust her back, Popeye. She's screamin' for it.
Next week: accused of domestic abuse and divorced with all his money taken away. Also told he ruined her life by not wrecking her ribs.
