Popeye question answered

[robinlandseadel at comcast.net]

I recall some sort of Bobby London collection---late 70's, early 
80's---with a reviewer's pull-quote on the cover blaring "Neo-Herriman" 
and Dirty Duck  responding with : "Neo-Anderthal". Here's some more
freeky links to the Doctor of Duckology:

RARE Original POPEYE daily comic strip by 
BOBBY LONDON, 5/19/86 (paper size: 13 1/8" 
x 4 1/4") Pen and ink. Paper is solid and untorn. 
This RARE strip features Popeye and Swee’Pea. 
Signed by BOBBY LONDON. FROM THE BOBBY 
LONDON COLLECTION. This RARE original is 
from the second month of London’s production 
on “Popeye”. (Underground cartooning great 
Bobby London has asked me to sell selected 
originals.) HISTORICAL HIGHLIGHT—From 
April, 1986 to August, 1992, the “Popeye” daily 
comic strip was written and drawn by Bobby 
London, who in his earlier, "underground" days, 
created “Merton of the Movement” and “Dirty 
Duck” — the latter of which found a mainstream 
outlet in “National Lampoon” and is still running 
in “Playboy”. A sequence about a doll, which 
London used as a metaphor for abortion, 
brought his stint on the strip to an abrupt end. 
Readers gave little or no evidence of serious 
objection; the syndicate’s licensing department 
wasn’t happy about London’s contemporary 
approach to the strip, giving that as its reason 
for firing him.
