A rough sketch of Renensco Blue from an old obscure comic called Hectic Planet.

Character I ain't scribbled in ages.

I know, but statues, I figger they stand out. Arf arf.

I've worked with Dark Horse since 1991, some years back they became my home publisher. A number of folks were responsible for my DHC work, but Mike was a major part of it, always supportive (even when disagreeing), interested and a major reason I have a career. Sorry to see this. End of an era.

Appreciate the reminder, I forgot all about and saw I "liked" the post. No memory of it. So I just made a note of it to check it out asap.

Eight Popeye-related statues displayed throughout the city of Chester, Illinois, where Thimble Theater/Popeye creator Elzie Segar was born and raised. Statues shown are Popeye, Olive Oyl with Swee'Pea and Eugene the Jeep, Alice the Goon, Poopdeck Pappy, Brutus/Bluto, King Blozo, The Sea Hag and Roughhouse.

TIL: Chester, Illinois has a "Popeye Trail" of 19 statues (28 characters) situated throughout the city in honor of hometown hero Elzie Segar. Beyond the main cast they have Castor/The Whiffle Hen, The Sea Hag/Bernard, Alice the Goon & Child, King Blozo, Toar & more. I have a nerdly urge to visit.

The Feds Targeted Charlotte. Now a Local Democrat Who Helped ICE Faces Voters. - Bolts North Carolina lawmaker Carla Cunningham voted to mandate compliance with ICE, and derided immigrants on the House floor. The Democrat faces an intense March primary.
