COMICS: Recommendation to Join the Official Popeye Fanclub

As a fellow fan of Popeye, please allow me to give a recommendation for you to join the Official Popeye Fanclub that issues a nifty membership package including a few newsletters each year.

I love the newsletters with the articles that they publish and some of the reprints of the older Bela Zeboly strips you can read.

To join, go to http://www.popeyethesailor.com/club/main.htm for more information. If the link to pay online isn't working, you can mail a check (for $10 in the U.S.) to the Official Popeye Fanclub -  1001 State St. - Chester, IL 62233, or call Debbie at 618-826-4567 with a credit card.

It is about time for me to renew my own annual membership!

Quick Update

I'm in the process of moving my art studio office into another part of the house - so my Intuous Cintiq is not set up at the moment. We're painting the new room this weekend that I'm about to move into as my den. 

However, I finished writing another comic script earlier today!

And I have a few more stories in mind.

Look for a new SEA SHANTY FUNNIES comic strip this Friday to celebrate Popeye Day.

I hope to return to production for the two THRILL SEEKER COMICS publications next month to finish up. Sorry for the delay, but family life got in the way a bit.
