Not a hoax or an imaginary concept, these are images from King Features' "GRUNGE POPEYE" 1995 licensing push.
At least I got to draw Bluto, instead of the insipid Brutus (see my post regarding this particular prejudice further into my blog.)

great popeye/bluto handslap drawing
That's an interesting combination: Sagendorf's Popeye with Segar's Bluto.
Personally, I'd love to see a return to the Segar character designs in the comic strip, but I'm extremely happy with the Fleischer designs you've been doing...they may be just a shade more "flexible" than the Segar designs.
That's just fucking weird.
Great drawings though!
You know, if these were any other characters than Popeye and Bluto, I'd say this was typically condescending marketing b.s., like the "Hip-Hop" Looney Tunes Time-Warner did at the same time.
However, with Popeye and Bluto, this seems oh-so appropriate to their characters!
I love it, and your style in general. Thanks!
Great images,thanks for sharing!
