Dick Tracy Valentines Day Special no 1 variant cover by Paulina Ganucheau (Mad Cave)

Popeye and Olive's first kiss was ... beguiling *in 1929, Popeye and Olive were not a couple, and she was dating someone else. Then they have this Hallmark moment. Maybe Olive was curious? Popeye got hit by the lightning, to be sure. Done perhaps as Popeye was becoming the breakout character.

Bluesky tagging Popeye as Adult Content? They want to tag 'adult content' all willy nilly? We can be from Missouri by way of Tijuana and show them some willy nilly.

BOOGER! <this post just a protest of Bluesky's 'adult content' labeling censors! Their AI detection machine has run amok! Amok, I say. > I fling my boogers in their general direction Down with Censorship! Down with The Man! Down with artifical pine scent!

Oh for crying out loud, Bluesky tagged 1919 fashion magazine covers or a black and white comic panel,of Popeye and Olive Oyl kissing. This all I can takes; I can't takes nore Phooey on this outrageous censorship and Booger! There, I said BOOGER on Bluesky

Bluto's fame came from the Popeye theatrical cartoons In the comic strip, he was a one-time villain, but that story came as Fleischer Studios were creating the cartoons - which needed to be simplified for the runtime. So, we got Bluto as we know and love him (and spinach powered knock-outs)

Is Olive Oyl a drab skinny unglamorous girl or the height of 1919 fashion?

Was Olive Oyl ever *pretty*? Introduced in 1919 in Thimble Theater (a decade before Popeye), Olive is always rail thin and unglamorous. Looking at 1919 fashions, she really isn't too far off the mark, if you squint real hard and let your good eye go out of focus.

Daily Hanna Barbera Ah, marital bliss in this very early (no3 on sale November 1961) Dell Flintstones comic <cover artist unknown>. The Flintstones is only a year old here, and you can see more of "The Honeymooners" flavoring (Fred is softed alot after becoming a dad)

1975 Mysteries from Beyond Earth A 'high strangeness' show that ends with discussing human cloning. First, a clone would recognize they were a 'Xerox'. How would a person react to that? Then about reating a conditioned clone army to do a dictator's bidding

I not only had this, I still have a sizeable collection of this early era of handheld gaming (another hobby) Opinion: Nintendo often gets credit for inventing the D-pad, but Mattel had already done it, as seen below. Yes, its 4 buttons not one cross-shaped one, but each has four cardinal contacts

Up too late with: Bad Star Wars rip-offs HG Wells' The Shape of Things to Come is in-name-only used in this weird B-movie. Jack Palance hams it up (in a good way). Space:1999 veteran Barry Morse is our mentor. This would have been on okay episode of Buck Rogers in the 25th Century.

Western Trivia: Why is food called 'chuck' What's a cattle drive without a chuckwagon? Where 'chuck' came from seems to have begun with a poor cut, a chuck or chock - the shoulder and upper neck cut of meat. This expanded to being any basic meal, and the wagon that carried it.

Wooly Bear Winter Prediction I saw my 1st of the season (missed getting a photo) but more rose toward head => mild at first, but with a harsh ending (reminds me of a love affair I had in college)
