Popeye Rush for Spinach with Ryan Estrada



Grab your canned vegetables and your questionable licensed tie-ins, because this week on Play Comics we’re diving headfirst into Popeye: Rush for Spinach on the Game Boy Advance—the game that looked at a classic comic strip about a gruff sailor punching his problems and said, “Actually, what if everyone just… ran a lot instead?” This is a world where the Sea Hag steals the global spinach supply, the solution is apparently time-traveling track meets, and Popeye, Olive Oyl, Bluto, and Wimpy all agree that the best way to settle things is to sprint through history like someone off-screen yelled “last one there buys lunch.”

Helping us untangle this leafy green disaster is the wonderful Ryan Estrada from the comic-making side of the internet, a man who knows exactly what it looks like when characters escape the page and do something absolutely no one asked them to do. Ryan’s here to help figure out how a comic icon who started life in newspaper strips, got famous selling spinach, and spent decades punching sea monsters somehow wound up in a handheld racing game that feels like it was brainstormed during a very strange lunch break.

So power up that tiny GBA screen, flex those forearms, and get ready for an episode that’s equal parts comic history lesson, adaptation autopsy, and incredulous laughter at the phrase “Popeye racing game.”

Learn such things as:

• Were our parents lying to us about spinach all these years?
• What’s the point of dropping plot threads if you never plan on picking them up?
• Will somebody just bring me a cheeseburger already?
• And so much more!

You can find everything you could ever want to know about Ryan on RyanEstrada.com. Let’s see if anyone can pick out my favorite part. I’ll give you a hint, it’s on the home page.

If you want to hear Chris talk with Karrington Martin about the lessons we learned from children’s media and how crazy it is that we’re supposed to just forget about that now that we’re adults, then Sugar, Spite, and Everything is Fine is probably something you should check out.

A big thanks to Peace Bound and Down – A Wonder Woman Podcast and Carnival of Glee Creations for the promos today.

@bookstodon In the 80s I discovered Love and Rockets by the Hernandez brothers. And fell in love.
While it's been an on/off kind of relationship we're getting back together now.
I have a lot of the comics, but I've decided to pick up the trades and am in the middle of Maggie the Mechanic. The first few stories are fun, even if they don't all fit comfortably with what comes later, but you see how quickly Jaime develops as both artist and writer.

Catspiders, attack! #MiaWolff joins the #podcast to talk about her amazing new book, THE EMPTY LOT, what it was like to find a narrative thread among 100 of her paintings over 40 years, making an afterword with #SamuelRDelany, her pitch with #Fantagraphics, & more, so GO LISTEN: https://chimeraobscura.com/vm/episode-621-mia-wolff

Warm cakey treat & coffee at friendly wee Turkish café that opened nearby a couple of months ago, & read of Life Sucks by Jessica Abel, Gabe Soria & Warren Pleece, with a bit of a Clerks meets vampires vibe to it.

New edition from fabbity-fab #Fantagraphics crew, early Xmas pressie to myself (working in a bookshop means it's rare that anyone buys me a book for Christmas!)

@RunalongWomble Howdy, Womble. Just starting Life Sucks, by Jessica Abel, Gabe Soria and Warren Pleece, kind of Clerks meets vampires. Originally from 2009, Fantagraphics just republished it, so when buying some books for Christmas presents, I bought that as a pressie to myself!
