A letter from Popeye

.
Bela Zaboly (1910-85) drew Thimble Theatre with Popeye from 1939 until 1959 (with Tom Sims and Ralph Stein scripting). But Zaboly did occasionally do his own Popeye writing, as evident in this April 1942 letter.

In 1941, Zaboly gave demonstrations 

 and showed students how to draw Popeye.
