PEOPLE, Page 77Boyled in Oyl
By MICHAEL QUINN/Reported by Wendy Cole
Spinach: Popeye the sailor man wouldn't leave home without
it. But a can of roughage wasn't much use to the muscle-bound
mariner last week against a foe more powerful than Bluto -- a
skittish distributor. "I was trying to do a comic strip where
Popeye and Olive Oyl cope with the problems of the modern
world," says BOBBY LONDON, writer and illustrator of the daily
Popeye strip for the past six years. When London drew two
comical clergymen who mistakenly believed Popeye's anorexic
amour was contemplating an abortion, the King Features Syndicate
was popeyed. It dropped two weeks' worth of Popeye panels -- and
London. The reaction brings to mind another Popeye associate:
Wimpy.
