DISCLAIMER

DISCLAIMER: “SEA SHANTY FUNNIES™” uses the public domain comic strips "THIMBLE THEATRE" (1919-1929) and “THIMBLE THEATRE STARRING POPEYE” (1929), as well as later lapsed strips (i.e., 1931) in the public domain as basis and inspiration, as well as all public domain "POPEYE THE SAILOR" cartoon shorts from Fleischer Studios, Paramount Studios, and/or Famous Studios , including but not limited to “Lets Sing with Popeye: I’m Popeye the Sailor Man” (1934), "Popeye the Sailor Meets Sindbad the Sailor" (1936), "Little Swee'Pea" (1936), "Me Musical Nephews" (1942), and "Spree Lunch" (1957). This is a derivative work of a public domain work and is a parody that also uses satire.

“SEA SHANTY FUNNIES™” is in no way associated with King Features Syndicate, Inc., nor are any claims made against their trademarks. Popeye was created by E.C. Segar.

This comic strip is written out of love, courtesy and respect of the original source material and creators inspired by these public domain vintage comic strips and cartoons. This is an all-ages friendly comic strip and includes mild cartoon-like violence associated with the characters' history.

RIP Hy Eisman


The Joe Kubert School of Cartoon and Graphic Art shared the sad news that onetime Popeye cartoonist Hy Eisman has passed away. Hy taught at the school from 1976 to 2019. Hy Eisman wrote and illustrated the Popeye Sunday comic strip from 1994 until 2022.

"It is with deep sadness that we share the passing of an incredibe artist, and a dear friend and instructor to many at the Joe Kubert School, Hy Eisman. 

His artistry and mentorship has helped to shape generations of creators. Hy’s influence will continue to be felt by all who had the honor of learning from him and by fans who enjoyed his incredible work."

I'd like to also offer my condolences to his fans, friends, and family. He had a spectacular take on our favorite Sailor Man that carried on the tradition.
