This Popeye Sericel is a perfect addition to any animation art collection, featuring the image of Popeye and Olive Oyl at the helm of his ship. At first a minor character in a newspaper comic strip Popeye proved so popular that he was given his own comic strip and soon as an animated character on film through Fleischer Studios and later Paramount's Famous Studio. When it went to TV it lacked the original artistry of the Fleischers and it's popularity waned. Hanna-Barbera, tried to revive the Popeye genre with the Popeye and Son TV series in 1987, but it was also also hampered by content restrictions which prohibited them from showing violence in cartoons.
