Arf! Arf! Arf! Well, Blow Me Down!By William CrossAs expected, another great book from Craig Yoe Company.It's nice to see Bud Sagendorf finally get his due. As a kid, I began reading the Popeye comic books because of my love for the Fleischer cartoons. While I found Sagendorf's Popeye to be a somewhat different character than the animated version, I remember finding these stories to be very funny and very satisfying.Time has not dimmed their power.Okay, as to contents - you get...* A very nice, short 1- page introduction by animation historian and fellow comic book fan Jerry Beck.* 16 pages of introductory material including a brief essay by Craig and a smattering of previously little seen artwork by Sagendorf including a Popeye booklet prepared by Sagendorf for the Red Cross in 1946 and two pages Sagendorf contributed to the Famous Cartoonist Course in 1956.* "Shame on You" from Popeye # 1 (1948)* "Misermites" from Popeye # 9 (1949)* "Witch Whistle" from Popeye # 12 (1950)* "Interplanetary Battle" from Popeye # 21 (1952)* "Shrink Weed" from Popeye # 25 (1953)* "The Happy Little Island" from Popeye # 27 (1954)* "Alone" from Popeye # 32 (1955)* "Nothing" from Popeye # 34 (1955)* "Spinach Soap" from Popeye # 41 (1957)Most of Popeye's amazing supporting cast is here: Olive, Wimpy, Swee'pea, King Blozo, and the Sea Hag. (Despite what the "Editorial Review" says, there is NO Bluto - who as we know, was mainly a bad guy in the cartoons.)The reproduction is excellent. The pages are slightly larger than the original comic book size and the coloring is a dead ringer for the way these old Dell Comics actually looked!These really are some of the very best of Sagendorf's long, long career drawing the one-eyed sailor ("Misermites" is a personal favorite).Highly recommended!1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. A Comic Book Genius Given His DueBy M. DogAs a huge fan of the brilliant work of Bud Sagendorf, this is the book I have been waiting for. I have always preferred the work of Sagendorf to that of Popeye's legendary creator, E. C. Segar. Sagendorf's cartooning style is far more relaxed and accomplished than was Segar's. His scenes of action, wherein Popeye dispatches foes like the mammoth Kid Kabbage or the horrific vultures of the Sea Hag; are some of the finest ever seen in kids' comics. Sagendorf's work is pure big-foot cartooning done by a great master, ranking alongside the work of my other favorites, Jack Bradbury, Howie Post, Jim Tyer, and Carl Barks.The stories that appear in this collection come from Sagendorf's comic book work, which was the perfect medium for the artist; allowing him to stretch out in long, imaginative stories geared for children (remember when comics were actually written with children in mind? Today, the target audience seems to be sad, frustrated, middle-aged men).To read these stories is to feel your spirit lightened. The artwork is really beautiful eye candy, and each page is pure comic book heaven. Craig Yoe, editor of this collection, has given us a beautifully bound, gorgeously reproduced collection of one of the truly underappreciated geniuses of comic book art. As Yoe says in his introduction, Sagendorf belongs in the top ranks of Dell Comics' glorious history of great artists - equal in storytelling and cartooning to Carl Barks or John Stanley. You will not be disappointed in this collection. Sagendorf had the rare gift for creating stories that were "child-like" instead of "childish" which, oddly, always feel more mature and wise than the flounderings found in today's comics, which try way too hard to be taken seriously. It is a true shame that, for many, Sagendorf stands in the overbearing shadow of Segar. He more than deserves to be seen for the great strengths of his own work (and here he is!).If you are an adult that appreciates historic cartooning and great art, buy it for yourself. If you have a child in the house, however, you may find yourself putting your son or daughter in your lap and reading them together.1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. More Please!By RosewaterI've been a lifelong fan of Popeye but only a recent convert to the comic version. This beautiful hardcover collects 10 stories by Bud Sagendorf, the former assistant to Popeye creator E.C. Segar who wrote and drew Popeye comics for over five decades after Segar's untimely death. His Popeye is very much in the vein of Segar's original, but he brings a kind of sunny excitement that makes it his own (and maybe a bit more digestible to fans of the animated Popeye).I hope they decide to put out more Sagendorf Popeye material in the future.---- (edit) Nov 2012Lo and behold, IDW/Yoe has answered my request: they're publishing Sagendorf's classic comics in monthly, single-issue format as "Classic Popeye," which will then be collected in hardcover treatment. If I were you I'd go for the single issues instead of the pricy hardcover. Not only is that way much cheaper (4 50-page issues for $3.99 each or those same 4 in a $25 hardcover collection), but these issues are near exact reproductions of these'40s comics (the paper quality, the one page gags on the back and inside cover, etc), making them absolutely cool little collectables in their own right. There are three genius incarnations of Popeye - the comic strip by E.C. Segar, the animations by Max Fleischer, and unknown to many, the brilliant 1940s and 50s comic book stories by Bud Sangendorf! Comics historian Craig Yoe collects and beautifully packages the best of the best of Sangendorf's thrilling and roll-on-the-floor laughing tales. See the Sea Hag, Bluto, and, of course, Olive Oyl, Wimpy, and Sweepea join Popeye in exciting adventures and brilliant comic book stories. About the AuthorForrest "Bud" Sagendorf (1915 – 1994) wrote and drew more Popeye comic strips and books than any other cartoonist—and wrote and drew them better than all the other swabs! When Bud was just 17, his sister, who worked in an art supply store in Santa Monica, California, introduced him to a customer, E.C. Segar, the creator of Popeye. Bud began a long relationship with Segar who became his teacher, employer, and father figure. After Segar’s passing, Bud produced comic books for 24 years, penned the daily strip, and drew art for licensing products.
