This sketch here I based on the famous photo of the WWII sailor kissing a nurse in the streets of NY. My favorite Popeye cartoons that weren't done by the Fleischers were the WWII propaganda films which featured Popeye in the Navy battling the Japanese and the Nazis. I wanted to go with the revamped Olive Oyl when Famous Studios tried to make her look more "attractive" I'm not satisfied with this sketch I plan to do this again and make it with a more highly detailed background
Popeye American Hero!!!
This one here I did on September 11, 2008. I was in the city seven years ago on that dreadful day, and what bothers me is the guy responsible for this, is still alive and at large. I wish we had Popeye films today of Popeye taking on the Taliban, cause those cartoons boosted a lot of spirits to Americans at home and to the soldiers serving our country. Especially when Popeye said in one cartoon "V isk for Victory, Ve'll stop em!" I am not fully satisfied with this sketch cause I pretty much wasn't in the right state of mind. I plan to redo this. I tried to make Osama looks a controversial as possible.
Out of the Inkwell... and on the Computer Screen.
I originally made this sketch the day before the Popeye vs. Osama sketch. This was a picture I had a lot of fun with. Two days later I colorized with Photoshop cause my girlfriend loved it so much she wanted a color version.
This sketch is a tribute to Max Fleischer (arguably the greatest animator of all time) and the first Popeye Cartoon. Popeye's film debut was in the 1933 Betty Boop cartoon entitled "Popeye the Sailor." In the cartoon, while at a carnival Popeye, Olive and Bluto are watching Betty dance the hula (in this same outfit) however i based the setting on Betty Boop's cartoon where she was on the Bamboo Isle short. The point of the picture really is if Popeye was in the same cartoon as Betty why the hell is he going for Olive Oyl.
