Elzie Segar - Popeye Daily Comic Strip Original Art, dated 1-26-37 (King Features Syndicate, 1937). When J. Wellington Wimpy plays a tune on the Sea Hag's magic flute, you can be sure he's going to whistle up a few burgers! In 1937, the gang in Thimble Theatre had embarked on a trip to "Plunder Island." It was a fan-favorite episode, lasting almost eight months and featured a cast of colorful characters like the murderous Sea Hag and the bizarre Alice the Goon. The fearsome Sea Hag had one weakness -- a soft spot for Wimpy. In this daily, the image area measures 21" x 4.5" and aside from some yellowing Zipatone, the art is in Excellent condition. Don't miss your chance to win this superb Elzie Segar daily featuring Wimpy. From the Estate of Bruce Hamilton.
