If you're a big Wimpy fan like I am you'll be in hog heaven because he's all over this book, offering such catchphrases as "You must come over for duck dinner; You bring the ducks!". There's also the first stories with Swee'Pea which are great, too.
It's also great seeing Olive Oyl punching out Popeye and any hussy who tries to scam on her sailor boy: she's way more intense in the strips than the wuss she plays in the cartoons.

It did not take long for THIMBLE THEATRE to lose a step. Just four years after the introduction of Popeye, the strip is repetitive and the energy seems down by a small percentage.

Segar showed almost no artistic growth in his career, but that still didn't stop him from producing a long running strip that was quite amusing.
very good, very well done. with the introduction of Swee'pea, bluto, and Popeye's newly made land of Popliania.
THIS BOOK WAS SO AWESOME!!
Includes the only comic strip sequence by Segar featuring Bluto. Sheer bliss for a vintage comics geek.
