Popeye The Classic Newspaper Comics By Bobby London Volume 2 (1989-1992)
When we say "complete," we mean COMPLETE! Bobby London's take on the Sailor
Man has often been overshadowed by his being fired from the strip in 1992,
ostensibly for presenting a storyline that was an allegory about abortion. In
that ultimate tale, Olive had become addicted to the Home Shopping Network and
ordered a Baby Brutus mechanical doll. When Popeye insists that she get rid of
the "baby," two priests mistakenly believe that the baby is real and that Olive
is going to exercise her pro-choice rights. King Features Syndicate pulled the
final three weeks of strips and daily newspapers began running reprints. Story
over in mid-stream.
Now, twenty-two years later, thanks to the kind cooperation of the good
folks at King Features, those three weeks will be included in this second volume
of the IDW series. But wait...that's not all! Turns out that Bobby London
produced an additional six weeks of strips beyond the three that were pulled
from syndication! This book contains - for the first time anywhere -
all nine weeks of "censored" Bobby London Popeye strips. Trust us, it's worth
the wait!
