POPEYE POPS IN FOR A POST...

Back around the mid-'70s, I found a bendy

POPEYE toy and took it home with me.  I was

famous for drawing the spinach-chomping sailor in

school, so I had sort of an affinity with the character.

I can no longer remember what happened to my little

flexible friend, alas, but umpteen years later (in the

21st century), I acquired a similar-sized, pose-

able plastic figure of the mighty mariner.

No, that's not him in the photo, that's a

larger scale, fabric-clothed Popeye (which I

bought later) produced by the same company, but

I was tidying up my room earlier in preparation for

decorating, and 'Pops' was hanging on the wall.  I

think it's a great collectable item and decided to

show him off on the blog to cheer up all you

comics-lovin', cavortin' Criv-ites.

So consider yourselves cheered.
