SEA SHANTY FUNNIES™: RIP Hy Eisman

RIP Hy Eisman


The Joe Kubert School of Cartoon and Graphic Art shared the sad news that onetime Popeye cartoonist Hy Eisman has passed away. Hy taught at the school from 1976 to 2019. Hy Eisman wrote and illustrated the Popeye Sunday comic strip from 1994 until 2022.

"It is with deep sadness that we share the passing of an incredibe artist, and a dear friend and instructor to many at the Joe Kubert School, Hy Eisman. 

His artistry and mentorship has helped to shape generations of creators. Hy’s influence will continue to be felt by all who had the honor of learning from him and by fans who enjoyed his incredible work."

I'd like to also offer my condolences to his fans, friends, and family. He had a spectacular take on our favorite Sailor Man that carried on the tradition.

- Scott
