Popeye Page #2

Synopsis: Buff sailor-man Popeye arrives in an awkward seaside town called Sweethaven. There he meets Wimpy, a hamburger-loving man; Olive Oyl, the soon-to-be love of his life; and Bluto, a huge, mean pirate who's out to make Sweethaven pay for no good reason. Popeye also discovers his long-lost Pappy in the middle of it all, so with a band of his new friends, Popeye heads off to stop Bluto, and he's got the power of spinach, which Popeye detests, to butt Bluto right in the mush. Watch as Popeye mops the floor with punks in a burger joint, stops a greedy tax man, takes down a champion boxer, and even finds abandoned baby Swee'pea. He's strong to the finish 'cause he eats his spinach!

the spare room?

Just Popeye, ma'am.

Go upstairs, Mr. Eye.

Olive will show you the room.

Thanks.

Some kind of asylum here.

Show me a room.

Show me some courtesy

might be nice.

I don't see why

I have to do anything

on the day

before my engagement party

when nothing's ready,

especially me.

And what kind of name is that,

anyway... Popeye?

Pretty strange.

What kind of name is Olive Oyl?

Sounds like

some kind of lubricants.

Thank you very much, ma'am.

Don't look in that room;

that's my room.

Meant no disrespect there.

Ugly, huh?

You owe me an apology.

What?

Wonder who shoved

a feather in his ear?

What'd you say?

Sure is nice weather

you have here.

Your name really Olives?

So what?

Olives Oyl?

You don't look Greek to me.

So, you're short.

Or are you just passing

yourself off as short?

Can I see me room now?

Ooh, as if I cared.

Let me give you a hand there.

Maybe it needs a little oil.

Oh!

Oh, oh...

Nice-looking room.

Never seen a room done

in early demolish-kin before,

but this'll do for me.

Careful how you treat

that bed.

Nothing goes on this bed.

Sorry, ma'am, it's just some...

Watch that lamp!

Let me give you some assistance.

Here, give me your hand.

There, that's it.

Yeah, here we go.

Oh, you're in first.

Is that... oh...

Boy, is it hot in here.

I still respect you.

Ooh!

Me bad eye, didn't see that.

Hmph!

Thanks for your help.

Uh, Miss Oyl, maybe...

Don't forget to put

the cat out, dear.

We don't have a cat.

Eau de toilette.

Yeah, eau de toilette.

Yeah.

How do you like that?

Gold is up 20 cents,

two dollars an ounce.

Out of my kitchen, Mr. Wimpy.

I knew it, I knew it, see...

You wait for the supper gong.

I could've made

a fortune on Billings

if Bluto would've let me go

directly to the Commodore.

He's so jealous of me,

that Bluto.

Well, who wouldn't be?

Me, I'm not jealous of Castor.

He's my son.

Man jealous of his own son.

You owe me an apology.

I didn't mean you.

Never lets me go

to the Commodore.

Commodore is a paragon

of sagacity.

If ever I could

put in a good word...

"Shut up" is the word.

"Pass" is another word

that Wimpy...

You don't pass.

He should be killed to death.

It says here the Commodore's

taxing salt again.

Don't look as good as I smell,

but too late now.

Got to go.

Oh, Mr. Eye,

have you met... uh, Pop?

Mr. Wimpy, my son Castor,

Mr. Geezil, my husband Cole.

We're all one big

happy family here.

- Hmph!

- Although not really.

I mean, well, Mr. Geezil

and Mr. Wimpy are, um...

Me, I'm family.

Well, you're my husband.

You owe me an apology.

Well, I can't find anything.

What are you

looking for, Olive?

- A glass.

- Oh, uh, here's a glass.

Jules Feiffer

Jules Ralph Feiffer (born January 26, 1929) is an American syndicated cartoonist and author, who was considered the most widely read satirist in the country. He won the Pulitzer Prize in 1986 as America's leading editorial cartoonist, and in 2004 he was inducted into the Comic Book Hall of Fame. He wrote the animated short Munro, which won an Academy Award for Best Animated Short Film in 1961. The Library of Congress has recognized his "remarkable legacy", from 1946 to the present, as a cartoonist, playwright, screenwriter, adult and children's book author, illustrator, and art instructor.When Feiffer was 17 (in the mid-1940s) he became assistant to cartoonist Will Eisner. There he helped Eisner write and illustrate his comic strips, including The Spirit. He then became a staff cartoonist at The Village Voice beginning in 1956, where he produced the weekly comic strip titled Feiffer until 1997. His cartoons became nationally syndicated in 1959 and then appeared regularly in publications including the Los Angeles Times, the London Observer, The New Yorker, Playboy, Esquire, and The Nation. In 1997 he created the first op-ed page comic strip for the New York Times, which ran monthly until 2000. He has written more than 35 books, plays and screenplays. His first of many collections of satirical cartoons, Sick, Sick, Sick, was published in 1958, and his first novel, Harry, the Rat With Women, in 1963. He wrote The Great Comic Book Heroes in 1965: the first history of the comic-book superheroes of the late 1930s and early 1940s and a tribute to their creators. In 1979 Feiffer created his first graphic novel, Tantrum. By 1993 he began writing and illustrating books aimed at young readers, with several of them winning awards. Feiffer began writing for the theater and film in 1961, with plays including Little Murders (1967), Feiffer's People (1969), and Knock Knock (1976). He wrote the screenplay for Carnal Knowledge (1971), directed by Mike Nichols, and Popeye (1980), directed by Robert Altman.
