description: Remember last volumes cliffhanger? The penultimate installment of this acclaimed reprinting of E.C. Segars masterpiece begins with Popeyes Ark: Part Two the tale of Popeyes eventful reign over Spinachovia  a bleak island populated only by men and lacking all femininity  even as Olive Oyl controls the country of Olivia (not to mention the men of Spinachovia). Then in War Clouds the two monarchies come tumbling down in a furious battle as Spinachovia is attacked by the tyrannical land-hungry King of Brutia King Zlobbo!This volumes star is Eugene the Jeep the rare friendly leopard-spotted and magically-endowed little creature. And Segar makes a great addition to the cast in The Search for Popeyes Poppa when the ever-cantankerous Poopdeck Pappy is tracked and finally hilariously found; the title of the follow-up storyCivilizing Poppa speaks for itself as it tells the classic tale of man taming beast as Popeye guides a stubborn Pappy through table manners.And as in every volume this year-and-a-half s worth of full-color Sunday strips are as dazzlingly reproduced as ever.The adventures of Popeye Olive Wimpy SweePea and the gang on the top are complemented with the riotously funny bonus strip Sappo including a somewhat self-referential storyline where the titular character becomes a cartoonist and teaches the craft to his friend Professor Wotasnozzle.
