  3. I never thought I would say this but I like the way you draw Olives boobs...

    I have no idea what APE is, is there any other way to get hold of your mini-comic?

    I´m doing a Popeye webcomic myself, you can check it out at http://thepopeyeadventures.blogspot.com/
    the text is in swedish though.

  4. Hey thanks! I might be selling the mini-comic online after APE (it's a comics festival in San Francisco). I'm also considering just putting the whole thing up on my blog for people to read for free. my site is here: www.iwilldestroyyou.com

  5. Beautiful job! So much more dynamic than the original.

  6. I was wondering why Sagendorf bothered having Olive facing away from the fight so she'd have to crane her neck, EXCORCIST-style, to see the action. Why not just have her looking at it directly?
    Then it hit me: Sagendorf will use any excuse to draw Olive's sweet, sweet ass.

  7. I LOVE when Tom Neely does stuff in this style. His horror stuff on the other hand...

  8. BOPalex is right! Folks do always talk about Olive's famous chest....
    It is nice that Sagendorf paid homage to her backside.
    Kudos to Tom for sneaking both in there. He's able to multi-task his fetishes.
