Original titlePopeye: An Illustrated Cultural History
Here is the history of Popeye, one of the best-loved cartoon characters. Animated series and films are examined, noting the different directions each studio took and the changing character designs of the Popeye family. Popeye in other media -- comics, books, radio, and even a stage play -- is thoroughly covered, as are Robert Altman's 1980 live-action film, and Popeye memorabilia.
