My new Popeye book is finally here!

[bluto]

My new book, "Stronger Than Spinach - The Secret Appeal of the Famous Studios Popeye Cartoons" published by Bear Manor Media, is now available at amazon.com and bearmanormedia.com. It's a fan's celebration of the films a lot of us grew up watching on TV. But because the cartoons were originally produced for adult movie-going audiences, they contained jokes, situations, and innuendos that went right over children's heads. The book explores these, along with the ways the characters changed over the years, how the films were products of their times, the romance of some of the storylines, the extreme violence on screen, the suspense and tension in many of the cartoons, and the delightful dilemma the viewers face as they try to determine who to root for.

I hope you enjoy the book and that everyone has a Happy Holiday season whether you buy the book or not.
