Second Panel
Castor (walking along the pier, carrying a briefcase with a hen walking next to him): "Hey there! Are you a sailor?"

Third Panel
Sailor/Popeye: "Ja think I'm a cowboy?"
Castor: "O.K. You're hired."

Fourth Panel
(Sailor/Popeye rowing Castor and Harold to a bigger boat.)
Castor: "I'm glad we gave Olive the slip."
Harold: "Yeah - I'll be she's still looking for a dime's worth of longitude."

Fifth Panel
Sailor/Popeye: "You mean me?"
Castor: "Yas - you! You're the whole crew - snap into it - tidy up the ship - batten down the hatches - scrub the decks - pull up the anchor - get three sheets into the wind and then go to the helm!"
Harold: "Smells like codfish."

Popeye's original design is now public domain & I hope that beyond all the lazy horror parodies we'll finally get stories close to his roots of social and political satire.

Very early Popeye, in the pivotal Thimble Theatre storyline "The Black Barnacle", in front of a palm tree, peering over a rock,  saying "A hut an' a man - that means food for us!"

Presented with no context whatsoever because reasons 😆

Tbf, context doesn't help it any.

Been following the rerun of #ThimbleTheatre "The Black Barnacle" storyline on #ComicsKingdom. It's a landmark story, marking many significant shifts for EC Segar, including 1st appearance of the #SeaHag. & y'know what? - she isn't the villain here.

Castor & #Popeye are

Mainly Castor 😅

Cropped image from original Thimble Theatre by EC Segar. Popeye, Castor Oyl & unnamed cop on the deck of the Black Barnacle ship. 
Popeye: "Yeah an' I wish the Sea Hag was aboard instead of hun'erds of miles south on 'er Island.  I'd like to push her nose too"
Castor: "Feeling great, aincha"
Cop: "Blow me down by heck"
The Sea Hag lurks behind them, watching from a hatch. She's not happy about this.

A page from Thimble Theatre's "The Black Barnacle" storyline.  The first appearance of the Sea Hag, she is a black silhouette against a dark line-art sky, looming over the sleeping Castor Oyl.
Sea Hag: "Come!"
Castor Oyl: "Ho hum! Did you say something,  Popeye?"
SH: "Come!"
CO: scared "You mean me?"

When I say the Sea Hag was terrifying in her first- ever appearance, I'm not kidding! Segar actually toned her *down* in later stories.
Here she is in her debut #ThimbleTheatre story "The Black Barnacle"
