Popeye Original Animation Superhuman Strength Drawing
Even though there is no absolute sense of continuity in the stories, certain plot and presentation elements remain mostly constant, including purposeful contradictions in Popeye's capabilities. Though at times he seems bereft of manners or uneducated, * Popeye is often depicted as capable of coming up with solutions to problems that (to the police, or, most importantly, the scientific community) seem insurmountable. Popeye has, alternatively, displayed Sherlock Holmes-like investigative prowess, scientific * ingenuity (as his construction, within a few hours, of a "spinach-drive" spaceship), or oversimplified (yet successful) diplomatic argumentation (by presenting to diplomatic conferences his own existence --- and superhuman strength --- as the only true guarantee * of world peace). Popeye's pipe also proves to be highly versatile. Among other things, it has served as a cutting torch, jet engine, propeller, periscope, and, of course, a whistle with which he produces his trademark toot. * * * * * **The drawingis from the 1950's Popeye television show series * * * * I bet you can't lift this chest up with one hand... * * * Original Animated Drawing Original "rough" animation drawing, in black and non-photo blue with the notations in black.Overall size is a 12-field drawing that is 10 1/2" × 12 1/2" * Very Good condition; the top right corner has been creased * * * Traditional animation is a multi-step process which includes various types of art techniques.
