Elzie Crisler Segar - Original Comic Strip Art
Elzie Crisler Segar - Original Comic Strip Art for Popeye Daily dated 4-2-36 (King Features Syndicate, 1936). Of all the Popeye storylines that E.C. Segar created during his too-brief tenure on the strip, none are more universally beloved (or desired by collectors) than the "Jeep" story. Eugene the Jeep was a small animal from a magical island who had the ability to foretell the future. As is clearly seen in the strip offered here, that made the Jeep very popular, indeed! Measuring approximately 21.75" x 5.5" overall and in excellent condition, each panel displays some degree of blue-pencil shading, giving the piece an added degree of eye-appeal. The words "That maternal instinct" have been written in blue pencil in the bottom margin, presumably by Segar himself. The strip is signed by Segar in the last panel. Important notice: Heritage usually auctions material at the rate of 200-250 lots per hour. On some occasions eBay Live bid software or the Internet may not be able to keep up with the pace of the auction. We recommend placing a realistic absentee bid now as insurance to avoid disappointment. Occasionally the auctioneer may eliminate or reject an eBay Live bid, and the auctioneer may also reopen a lot after the close of the eBay live bidding (usually because we missed an audience bid), and may reject your bid even if it shows you as the winning bidder. By bidding via eBay Live, you agree that Heritage may award the lot to another bidder at its sole discretion under the circumstances described above or any other reasonable circumstances. Since eBay bids are not shown to us until we open the lot on the floor, we treat those bids just like floor bids. In most cases the floor responds before the eBay bid is presented to us, due to Internet lag time, so for consistency we have made it a policy that floor bids are always considered first over tie eBay live bids. Also please note that all Heritage lots purchased through eBay Live carry a 20% Buyer's Premium. Please make sure you read the Terms and Conditions before you bid.
