Incidentally, one thing’s really, really bothered me about Popeye’s dialog – it’s missing the final ‘k’s. So, for instance, not “Please don’t leaves me”, but “Please don’t leavesk me.” That’s the way I remember Popeye comic books, anyway.
Someone’s gonna pay dearly for that death – but Pops has more or less been given a death sentence since I’m sure he won’t stop killing until his muscles shut down.
Yeah, if the Garf can dispense spinach, I’d say that someone’s about to be on the receiving end of a WORLD of hurt. Chuck and Cal are badass, no doubt, but Pops plus spinach is literally the irresistible force.
Actually, spinach is just what they used in the cartoons.
In the Segar comic his strength and invulnerability came from the wiffle hen. That’s right, magic. The only sure way to pump him up was to make him mad.
Someone better clear the civilians to a safe distance.
Whhaaaa, hot piece of ass Olive oil is. I think Pops should go a little necro before taking on Cal. One last hump before the body is cold. Jk, or am I? Going to Twitter about this now.
capcha: intrene boom, must of been the sound that shook Norway this past week. Cold and uncalled for and my heart goes to all the people of Norway.
“And in this comic where everyone’s a little bit uglier than usual, you’re the first person I’ve ever seen make Olive Oyl attractive.”
Everybody down there is some kind of mutated freak of nature anyhow. To me, it makes perfect sense for her to be the only character out of all of them that actually looks better because of it.
Olive Oyl was never ugly in relation to the comic, and of course standing next to Popeye she would naturally look like a beauty queen. I’m relieved, actually. (Unless, of course, her hotness is an aspect of her mutation in this world.)
Each one teach one; Pops is about to show Chuck and the rest of the yungins what it is to be a hero…
I know it’s more of a moving picture thing, but if Pops doesn’t land at least one “Whirlwind Spinning Arm” uppercut, or turn his fists into anvils, or brutally incinerate someone with flames from his pipe, I’ll be very disappointed. Punching a hail of bullets out of the air while advancing on a flabbergasted enemy would also be acceptable.
That’s all he can stand, and he can’t stands no more. Everyone except Cal is *done*, and if Chuck doesn’t hurry up, all he’ll get to tussle with is leftovers.
God god, I love this storyline, anyone know where i can read A Peanut Scorned?
My prediction, Pops and Snoops take out H.O.B.S. While Chuck and C.A.L. Go head to head… Or, C.A.L. And Chuck come to a mutual understanding and C.A.L. Realizes the fun to be had by playing Calvinball with the syndicate…
Assuming that Olive has been shot in the back, aren’t those holes a bit small for exit wounds? (Assuming the Syndicate don’t use Teflonâ„¢ coated rounds, of course.)
So there you have it JY, the consensus is that we want to see Pops kick some royal ass. So now is he going to go out like a punk like everyone else has since Cal came on the scene?
I find myself really hoping it’s Pops who takes out C.A.L., even though i know it’s not to be since this strip is all about Chuck. Can’t wait to see how it ends, and hopefully alls wells that ends wells!
He made her hot, and thus had to kill her off…and now I foresee: “That’s ALL I KEN STANDS! I CAN’T STANDS NO MORE!!!” followed by an utterly berserk rampage.
(Sooner or later today, or even maybe tomorrow if JY ‘accidentally’ finds his Xbox LOL) I figure Pop’s rampage will be akin to the first sequence of Blockhead’s War where Chuck turned the members of Camp Swampy into hamburger, except not as cheerful 🙂
Give ’em hell, Pops! Huh. I’m actually surprised she wasn’t scrawny with a needle nose…
She will be remembered by her brother Castor.

You made Olive Oyl hot. HOT. DAMN YOU.
Ya got some talent kid!
Good God. This one’s truly fantastic.
Incidentally, one thing’s really, really bothered me about Popeye’s dialog – it’s missing the final ‘k’s. So, for instance, not “Please don’t leaves me”, but “Please don’t leavesk me.” That’s the way I remember Popeye comic books, anyway.
Also, what Luke said.
Someone’s gonna pay dearly for that death – but Pops has more or less been given a death sentence since I’m sure he won’t stop killing until his muscles shut down.

Those are the manliest tears.
Capcha, on the other hand, wants me to seek the least manly death: Get leadcum
Oh shit, it’s on now.
And in this comic where everyone’s a little bit uglier than usual, you’re the first person I’ve ever seen make Olive Oyl attractive.

love the direction you went with olive oil….and I agree shit’s about to get real with popeye now.

@Another – Agreed, though you can’t really count out Annie…
I think JY’s Olive was made to look like Shelley Duvall, the actress who played the part in the live-action “Popeye” movie. Am I right, JY?
— In the spirit of fairness, Captcha is giving everybody one `ndaallyi each`, whether you want it or not.
Actually Olive was also pretty nifty looking in some of the later Famous Studious Popeye cartoons.
Oh, and she also had a Mom and Dad in the Segar strips…..Cole and ‘Nana

Wow, Olive looks like a Spanish flamenco dancer. Well, looked like a Spanish flamenco dancer. And now it is time for Pops to release his inner Toro.
Olive is hot.
Incredible characterization in the artwork. I could feel his pain.
Fuck them up Pops. Fuck them up real good. Fuck them up.
Great God but if poverty weren’t crushing me right now I would buy this strip!
@Sherlock Watson- I thought the same thing when I first saw the strip, but wasn’t sure.
Oh man… no force on this earth, not weapon or Cal or anything: is going to stop him now.
I wonder if we see the line “Thats all I can stands, I can’t stands no more!” after this.
I believe we will now see what happens that gives Chuck the chance to get away from Cal and hopefully recover his arm.
As much as I’d love for Pops to survive this, I fear that will not be the case.
Excellent work as always Mr. Yungbluth. Excellent.
The Syndicate troops are about know know what it feels like to envy the dead.
(About TO know)
Here’s the movie poster, for comparison:

I just felt the need to nit-pick a little.

So there you have it JY, the consensus is that we want to see Pops kick some royal ass. So now is he going to go out like a punk like everyone else has since Cal came on the scene?
…sssooooooooo…I’m the only one that thought Jason was goin’ for a Olive Oyl=Eva Peron kinda thing?…
No man is more dangerous than when he has nothing left to live for.
I find myself really hoping it’s Pops who takes out C.A.L., even though i know it’s not to be since this strip is all about Chuck. Can’t wait to see how it ends, and hopefully alls wells that ends wells!
I assure you all, Pops has had all he can stands, and he can’t stands no more.
I guess that means its time to pop a can of Spinach then
You just gave me chills, JY. Can’t wait.
Time to break out the methamphetamine laced spinach!
(great Captcha, assolo figure)
@JY YAY! I can’t wait to see Pops unleashed.
He made her hot, and thus had to kill her off…and now I foresee: “That’s ALL I KEN STANDS! I CAN’T STANDS NO MORE!!!” followed by an utterly berserk rampage.
(Sooner or later today, or even maybe tomorrow if JY ‘accidentally’ finds his Xbox LOL) I figure Pop’s rampage will be akin to the first sequence of Blockhead’s War where Chuck turned the members of Camp Swampy into hamburger, except not as cheerful 🙂
6:30PM. Yer facking killing me, JY.
11:59:30….that’s my guesstimate, Frank……that way he sticks to it having posted on Friday 🙁
I love that you used the “Now Popeye runs like an ape, for some reason!” pose from the early cartoons.
SHIT.
IS.
ABOUT.
TO.
GO.
DOWN.
Wow, ya made Olive look like a Disney princess, without the construction boots even! I think Pops is a bit pissed off now…
Pirate Boots Olive is Hawt!!!!
