Popeye #3
SCORE: 69
I am so glad that I had the $3.99 to purchase a copy of the Popeye #3
comic book back in 2012. Popeye #3 is another comic book came from the
rooms of one of our sons when they cleaned up their rooms and decided
they did not need or want the comic books anymore. I put them in my
comic book review pile and was able to get to this one. There are
twenty-two pages of comic book content within Popeye #3.
The condition of this comic book is actually pretty good. There is a bit
of violence, lack of attire, and references to gambling in Popeye #3.
There will be spoilers in my review of the Popeye #3 comic book. Wimpy
is challenged to a boxing match in Popeye #3 against the Phantom
Crusher. This old man is mad at Wimpy. In fact he is sick of Wimpy and
wants to get rid of him forever. If Wimpy loses he must leave the city.
Wimpy is constantly eating meat in Popeye #3. At one point Popeye #3
implies that he caught and ate a bird without cooking it. Supposedly he
ate the beak in Popeye #3 too. There are feathers in the room he is in -
on this boat. Popeye is trying to train Wimpy in Popeye #3. There is
some humor in this comic book. Like when Wimpy accidently knocks out
Bluto. Bluto came to the gym to fight Popeye. Wimpy tosses a weight to
Bluto, who knocks it away. The weight bounced off a trampoline and
knocks out Bluto.
Popeye is confused how Wimpy is not losing weight after all the training
in Popeye #3. The thing is Wimpy just keeps on eating. His appetite is a
real problem and should cost him a lot of money. Wimpy takes hamburgers
whenever he can. The Phantom Crusher was a horse. How did they get a
horse to stand on two legs and punch someone like a boxer. The horseshoe
falls out of the glove in Popeye #3.
Popeye thinks the old man is cheating with a horseshoe in the glove and
fights the Phantom Crusher. Popeye wins and the old man must provide
Wimpy with hamburgers for a whole year. Wimpy releases the old man of
their bargain and takes the horse to a farmer where he hopes to trade it
for a cow. Wimpy could have done that and gotten free hamburgers for a
year. I don't get that part.
