So, Popeye is a cuck now
>>152319821
>>152319833>Popeye is a MGTOWSurprisingly on point. Popeye and Bluto are usually on friendly terms until Olive Oyl comes in to ruin it.
>>152319821>>152319833What?
>>152319821LARSEEEEEEN!
>>152319857Remember how skinny and ugly she was but they'd always wanna fuck her?
Thank God Blondie died in American pop culture decades ago so Larsen can't draw her and Dagwood in a drawn out 15 issue NTR arc.And if he does, it means he lurks here and his closest loving relative that is still breathing dies the night it's published if he does because he has read this and is now cursed.
where in these panels does it say he's a cuckhold? this reads like he dumped Olive Oyl
>>152320285Nothing is safe from the Absolute Madman
>>152319821How in the world is Skottie Young's portrayal of Popeye more respectful to the character?
By the way, has there been any other public domain Popey comic appearances besides this shit?
>>152319821He really wishes he was Dave Sims. Eric Larson, I mean.
>>152320351He probably hates CHUD Sim given Larsen's a flaming liberal
>>152319821Larsen is so full of shit nowadays you cansmell him a mile away. If your comic is not selling do something else and don't ruin other characters.
>>152319821>>152319833How does that make him a cuck?>Giving boat tours, totally normal profession>Left someone who was demanding he fundamentally change who he is to please herUnless the couple he was giving a tour to is specifically olive and some other guy, all I see is him breaking off a toxic relationship.
>>152319833>Olive wanted me to cut the rough stuffNah, that doesnt sound like her.
what the fuck am I reading
>>152320520It's implying that Popeye gave up on Olive Oyl and is escorting her on her date with someone else, basically being paid to watch her flirt with another man.
>>152320302Rich Johnston claimed it happened, in his review of the comicWe won't know till the issue is out in stores
>>152320249And how Big Ethel would chase Jughead
>>152320520See >>152320718OP is going by Rich Johnston's review which is where he got the panels from. But the issue isn't out yet so we can't really confirm if that's true or not
It gets worse.
>>152319821>now
>>152320343There were some. Popeye had a cameo appearance in Shi: Gatecrasher. And there's going to be a Rocketeer comic with a Popeye guest-appearance
>>152320574kinda scares me that the desire for women to be wrecked has been known that far back. Held in strong, crushing arms? sure. Raped? Sure. Ravaged? I get that. But actual bodily harm being part of the appeal? I thought that was just modern degeneracy. I get that it's a joke, but the joke has to have root in something.
>>152320780Joke
>>152320501He just can't help himself.
>>152319821worse, a serial murder.
>>152320574find me a woman like that, got damn.>>152320938that is primal shit, dude. A woman needs to know at any moment you could snap her in half. That's what gives your gentle hugs and caresses value. Aint nothing impressive about gentleness in a wimp.Just like how we all wish we could go into the woods and pet bears and wolves, but we know we can't. but we wish they were nice.
>>152320979good lord this is goofy. The only thing sadder than ripping off family guy humor is ripping it off as serious.did savage dragon have a kid?
>>152321208Yes, he did. But the kid in that panel is Savage Dragon's grandson
Using characters in the public domain is creatively bankrupt.It shouldn't be that way but only people with no reverence or no talent or both try and tackle these characters, it's disgraceful.
>>152320881Is that Bill Tucci on art?
>>152320951
>>152321252It is.
>>152319821>drew him from the frontIs that a joke? "I can draw him badly if I want to"?
>>152319821She's my no. 1 goil, now get out d'ere and ea'n bitch!
>>152321203>Aint nothing impressive about gentleness in a wimp.The difference between "peaceful" and "harmless".
>>152320501Does he care if it sells? Isn't it just masturbating his ego now?
>>152321208>good lord this is goofyNo, it's Mickey.
>>152320249How many prospects can a one-eyed sailor with a speech impediment and massive forearms hope to find?Popeye knows he's not Robert Redford or Cary Grant. He's settled for someone who loves him -- even if she's not a raving beauty.Repeated failures when I try to upload an image. ???
>>152320574>>152319833my big footed princess
>>152320351>Larson ends Savage Dragon at issue 301 just so he can beat Dave's run
>>152321970Finally!!
>>152319821I like Steve Mannion's Popeye
>>152322047Is Bluto using Gear 3?
>>152321970Well, it has been shown in the comic strip and cartoons that attractive women do like Popeye, so he can do better than Olive.youtube.com/watch?v=nN4l1kInmRs&list=PLQ_rHkDJDY19dZ57MXJtZj6m4iknPwOo9&index=37
>>152322047What the fuck is up with Bluto's hands? He could squish his own head like a grape
>>152319821whatsks you doing in a porn comic?
>>152322123
>>152320938All sorts of people have existed across all times.
>>152322047The characters in the back being Tintin characters really clashes there.Awesome background work though. The older I get, the more I judge artists on how much effort they put into the background. Sergio Aragones perhaps being the GOAT of this.
>>152322639What?The characters in the Background are Wimpey and Geezil, who are both also Popeye characters.
This is not the Popeye thread I expected to appear, but whatever. Does anyone have that one strip where Brutus (I might be misremembering and it's Bluto) asks Olive why she doesn't love him, and she lists a whole bunch of negatives, and the punchline is him going "well if I didn't have those I wouldn't have to settle for you"?
>>152319821this is very silly but I appreciate how much Larsen enjoys the public domain and does actual use of itThough with that in mind, surprised he hasn't used Captain Marvel yet, he's clearly a big fan
>>152321208In Mickey's defense, Malcolm's wife is a legit fucking whore who made porn, streaks for fun, refuses to wear underwear, had an incestuous foursome with her husband and his step sister and another woman, and dresses like a whore 24-7.
>>152323064DC would sue him like they threatened to sue a guy who tried to make a comic with Mary Marvel, a couple of years back
>>152319821it's not even the PD design what are you doing here
>>152321918
>>152322334>Jesus Christ what an asshole!I guess it works here too
>>152319821And yet you faggots will keep buying his shitty comics, so floppyfags keep on losing. Honestly, throwing Larsen out and making an example out of him is the only way you're ever going to win.
>>152323083why not? The colour scheme was overall already like this by 1930, and the Mickey uses have shown the companies are not being that much of a stickler anyway
>>152323083>>152323179Also the Popeye Color Special shorts were already public domain to begin, Larsen's just drawing Popeye based on them I'm pretty sure
>>152323081It's not like he hasn't used characters like Lev Gleason's Daredevil under circumstances like that, he'd just rename Captain Marvel to something else. I guess there's the argument it'd just be doing it too similar to his Mighty Man by that point but he's such a fan that it really strikes me he wouldn't enjoy having THE Captain Marvel, even if only visually, in his comic regardless. I just find it odd.
>>152320673>It's implying that Popeye gave up on Olive Oyl and is escorting her on her date with someone elseyour reading comprehension is RETARDED. The young couple are two different people.
>>152320938The erotic romance novel has a long history of making men uncomfortable because it's typically chock full of every way we were told not to treat women.The part that makes it so prominent now is that guys can get in trouble for a fanservicey cleavage shot while a lot of these books, basically ecchi for women even outside the sex scenes, aren't even sold like they're pornographic. Then again, I've seen copies of seinen harem manga sold at Barnes and Noble next to shounen books since it's all alphabetically ordered
>>152322334https://youtu.be/ZA405h8AzTY
>>152320574Popeye bros, our hero is a sissy now...
>>152320979Didn't the savage dragon kid get /ss/'d?
>>152319821>cuckIt sounds like he's just giving a tour to a random couple. That's like saying a taxi driver is a cuck if he's chaperoning a couple.>>152319857Oh this is a gender war thread for closeted homosexuals.
>>152323282>now
>>152323066Sorry, it's empowering when she does it
>>152320673>It's implying that Popeye gave up on Olive Oyl and is escorting her on her date with someone elseI swear to fucking god the mental gymnastics you people do to justify your overuse of the word "cuck"...
>>152325572I didn't say he was a cuckold, you spazatron, just that he gave up on Olive Oyl.
>>152323152I don't buy his books though. I just see stupid threads like this show up on 4chan and comment on them. Why do you act so pissed at people making fun of his weirdness?
>>152320979The kid's just mad that his mom is a whore.
>>152325758NTA, you implied he was a cuck (or at the very least a simp) when you said he was chaperoning Olive on a date, something that's not implied anywhere in the dialogue.
>>152320318We need an arc about crankshaft taking savage dragons kids to school, that’s the only logical next step
>>152323152You mean you keep buying his comic
>>152323064He did throw in a cameo of Sivana and Billy Batson in one issue.
>>152325948Probably not gonna happen till Crankshaft is PD, by that point both Batiuk and Larsen would be long gone
The 80s movie was better than this shit.
>>152321241Most modern writers are incapable of doing anything interesting beyond ‘What if Robin Hood was GAY?!’ or ‘Here’s the exact same shit you’ve seen before but I’ve included my own character’. In theory it’s great anyone can use these characters but in practice they were the original author’s baby and when something is truly your creation you tend to have an actual vision for it beyond ‘Hey, remember this guy’?! Also this isn’t me saying Disney should ‘own’ a character until the heat death of the universe, just most people are uncreative hacks.
>>152326107The point is you look for the good ones amidst everything else. It's not quite "public domain" since it's more like "disregard for copyright", but just consider for every dozen shit takes on Lupin you got Lupin III, etc
>>152326117True - hence the key word ‘most’, the problem is that most people just want the notoriety of using a recognisable character without the effort of writing say, an actually interesting Bulldog Drummond story because no-one today knows about that character.
>>152326134Be the change you want to see, anon. I've never read Bulldog Drummond stories- only became aware of the character from League of Extraordinary Gentlemen- but I always respect attempts at revivals of stuff done through public domain and get glad when they're cool, too
>>152323056
>>152319821Is the author's ego so fragile that he needs to put down masculine characters to make himself feel better?
>>152326139That’s a good attitude, I’m just more one to let something end rather than drag it out of the grave. (Also I have my own idea that I never bother penning down because I’m lazy).
>>152326134>most people just want the notorietyWhat “notoriety” is there to get from using characters nobody cares about to remember today?
>>152326154Is your ego so fragile you have to whine every time Larson is being cheeky with his writing?
>>152326174That’s the point, they don’t use characters who are in the public domain but not in the public consciousness.
>>152326182>>152324113Shut up Larsen. Your book is dogshit and your waifu is a filthy whore.
>>152326142Based Bluto. I like that even in the old strips Bluto isn't treated like some monster. He's Popeye's rival and a total dick, but he's also a guy who lives in town and gets bummed out about getting rejected by a girl he's sweet on, so seeing Wimpy check up on him when he's low is kinda nice.
>>152322028good thread
>>152323202…good point
>>152319821Poor, innocent ol' Popeye. Black kids don't have pappies.
>>152326196How is that looking for notoriety?
>>152320574okay, someone needs to draw Olive getting WRECKED, sexually.
>>152326182Retard
>>152326509oh boy I haven't seen that pic in at least 20 years.
>>152326499>Using a well-known character.vs.>Using a character five people today have heard of.The former is looking for attention wheras the other is probably coming from a place of deep admiration/enjoyment of the source material.
>>152326516Or maybe they just wanted to goof with a character that’s become public domain.
>>152326509Very masculine, anon. That post is bursting with machismo
>>152326533Sure, but at that point it normally falls under parody. Unless the writer really commits to the character as a person within their work and integral to the story it just comes across as their commentary. I'm not against using PD characters it's just that in most cases I've seen as of late it's because people can rather than because it really adds something.
>>152322047Steve Mannion is so underrated. He was bornto draw stuff like Popeye....Even some Lobo sketches he did were really cool.
>>152319821No, that chapter from Crímenes y Castigo by Nine isn´t canon.
>>152320751Fats are the worst
>>152320979What the fuck?
>>152325931It's spelled out in the Bleeding Cool article
>>152326265That's Brutus, not Bluto
>>152319833Finally, Popeye has a reason to get with Sutra.
>>152327776Sutra's not PD yet, Larsen's thing is specifically use of PD. I guess we could end up with a Sutra ripoff character but I think it's more likely he just does something like adding Betty Boop and having Popeye fall for her. Or the most likely, just no one, the story's just about Popeye being happy by himself
>>152326142Thank you anon, I'm happy I remembered it's Brutus
>>152319833what's going on with this artist's pants? why draw all of them like they are in a jungle?
>>152319821If so this would far from the first time. Olive did this shit Popeye tons of times in the OG strips. It's like you don't have any idea what you're talking about.>>152320574She does through a couple of periods in the Segar dailies where she tries to 'civilize' him.
>>152319821>>152319833Why is the writer like this?
>>152329160Terminal TDS
>>152320979It would have been awesome if Minnie was there and after Mickey walked away, she offered the kid some mouse-cooch.
>>152319821Eric Larson is such an embarrassment.
>>152329160>>152329753>>152331034why are you guys so fucking butt-hurt about Popeye? It's... it's not canon to Popeye, you know that right? It's all a goof, for fun, like Mickey being a serial sex offender.>nooo it's INAPPROPRIATEyou are posting on 4chan
>>152332198Why are you so fucking butt-hurt about other anons expressing opinions?
>>152320343The Rocketeer is teaming up with Popeye and Tintin.
>>152326593I wish he'd do something besides random Fearless Dawn issues
>officially canonized character assassination of the cuckold natureYIPPEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEETHANK YOU SANTA KRILLIN
>>152319821Im very out of touch with savage dragon and really only familiar with some things from the 90s when it was actually a bit popular. I know he went crazy politically but but from what Ive been seeing is he it literally just a pro cuck comic now?
>>152333262Dragon’s daughter lost her memories and left her dimension to fuck her childhood friend, a midget supervillain. So maybe? Popeye might not be a cuck though, leaks have been inaccurate before
>>152333262It's mostly just porn these days.
>>152320249That's literally the joke of the thing. She's a low quality slag, but two dudes who haven't seen pussy because they're sailors have lower standards.
>>152321298Who the hell is that asshole?
>>152320979>80,000Is Larsen trying to insinuate he has more readers than he does
>>152323152We know it's you Erik
>>152333262Technically his son is the cuckold. Larsen blew up the version of the Image Universe his characters lived in and migrated the survivors to a parallel Earth. Once there Dragon retired and his son Malcolm became the new Savage Dragon and Malcolm is a literal man whore who married an Asian whore who is under 5 feet tall and looks like a 13 year old, fucked her, knocked up his step sister and another chick along with his whore wife, as Dragon basically became a literal porno comic to try and get people to read it.
>>152332198It's not "inappropriate," ya fag, it's fucking retarded.
>>152334236Nta, but why did Larson blow up the first universe? Don’t all image comics have their own “image” universe, so what did it even accomplish?
