Popeye's original design is now public domain & I hope that beyond all the lazy horror parodies we'll finally get stories close to his roots of social and political satire.

Been following the rerun of #ThimbleTheatre "The Black Barnacle" storyline on #ComicsKingdom. It's a landmark story, marking many significant shifts for EC Segar, including 1st appearance of the #SeaHag. & y'know what? - she isn't the villain here.
Castor & #Popeye are
Mainly Castor 😅
Today in 1929 — #Popeye made his debut in E.C. Segar’s #ThimbleTheatre.
Although he ate spinach on occasion in the newspaper comic strip, it didn’t become his trademark until the Fleischer cartoons.
