Let's celebrate Popeye the famous sailor.

Does anyone have that comic where Wimpy attempts to straight up murder a man for a hamburger?

>>95106572
Man, broken English was quite a feature of comic characters in those days. Yellow Kid, Krazy Kat, Popeye...

>>95106572
holy shit, Wimpy

It's the measure of Wimpy that I have to reply with the question: WHICH ONE?

I could only find this when I searched for it. If I remember right someone bets that Wimpy would murder a man for a hamburger.

Newspaper comics used to be so weird in a good way. Now they're just weird in a terrible way.

I miss when Bluto was not just some chump but an actual threat to rival popeye.

Please tell me there is a collection of old Thimble Theater/Popeye strips?
Or at least that some newspapers reprint them like they do with Peanuts.

I've never actually thought to seek out the comics, the cartoons were always enough for me. But now...

>>95108822
God damn, I knew there was a reason Wimpy was my favorite Non-Popeye character as a kid.

Considering it's Wimpy, the next strip could have been him commenting that he knew it was blanks because of the way the guy felt or he genuinely just didn't care.

Either way, it still would have perfectly in character.

How has Wimpy never gotten his own series of shorts?

I was thinking it was going to be something like "that episode when" threads where the claim is greatly exaggerated, and ends up being gross negligence out of greed, but this is just nonchalant homicide

Odd really considering how popular he was. Wimpy basically took over the Sunday strips for a while there.

I don't have those strips but here's what happens if I recall correctly::

The Geezil doesn't die for whatever reason, Roughhouse refuses to pay for an incompete murder and gets into an argument with Wimpy over it, Geezil retaliates for the attempt assassination by putting rat poison in Wimpy's food, Wimpy eats it and is declared dead by a doctor, Roughhouse celebrates Wimpy's death by offering free hamburgers for everyone in the place, and the lure of free burgers is enough to resurrect Wimpy.

I found part 1. This comic strip was filled with foul characters.

Had a bit of it mixed up I see.

>>95113546
I'd initially expected him to just be considering it before moving on to a different scheme.

Wimpy rules. He makes Jughead look like a bitch.

I will gladly pay you Tuesday for a hamburger today.

Jesus, he ate the bear alive, fur and all.

I doubt anybody will ever bother. Fantagraphics printed the stories with Popeye (those books are now out of print unfortunately) but there doesn't seem to be enough interest in the strips from the decade before he showed up to justify collecting those.

Look at that last panel again; not only did Wimpy do that, but it went down so quickly that the bear didn't even realize what was happening.

>>95114356
Nope; Wimpy's a monster.

>>95113993
Is Wimpy related to Jughead? They both seem to no give a fuck for any lawn or conduct of society, they just want hamburguers

I mean I know Wimpy tried to kill him, but I still wouldn't recommend that.

Genndy's cancelled movie would be nice to have, as a tribute to the cartoons, but the comics are how I want a new show to be like. Less dependent on the Bluto/spinach formula for one, and more wacky slice of life.

Fantagraphics reprinted the entire Segar run in six beautiful hardcovers. You might have to shop around (the fifth book's sold out on Amazon US and UK) but they're absolutely worth it
