Popeye Unbound

The inflooenshul works of American artiste E. C. Segar (creator of “Popeye”) have apparently entered the public domain!

Let the image grab begin, because of course "public domain" only applies to forgotten and usually forgettable^‡ authors^†
whose body of work was never all that commercial, and is no longer claimed by the deep-pocketed robber barons, squatters and snarling wolves (like Eisnerville's...err...Walt Disney Co.'s bizarre claim to own the rights to Sir John Tenniel's Alice illustrations.)

^†Sorry, it seems that 100 Classic Books (Nintendo DS) violates US copyright laws so it can't ackshooly be shipped from Amazon.co.uk. No idea what the problem is, since most if not all of these titles are available from Project Gutenberg:

^‡When was the last time you read Silas Marner of your own free will? Most English Lit falls in the same "under duress" category. Even Shakespeare. My brother is the only guy I know who's ever read Martin Chuzzlewit cover to cover. Call me Ishmael, but Queequeg passeth a racist, imperialist gas, and Victorian authors are weird as well as duller than boiled broccoli.
