This year we are celebrating Valentine's Day with one of our favourite couples: Popeye and Olive Oyl! 💙 🤍 The only thing that Popeye loves more than spinach and the sea is his feisty, flirty “goil,” Olive Oyl. On 27th August 1929, Olive Oyl stole Popeye’s heart when she mistakenly kissed him on the cheek, starting their long, boisterous love affair. #popeye #oliveoyl #valentinesday © KFS ™ Hearst

When you're dead inside, but the work emails keep returning to haunt you. 😭 Introducing NEVER BEEN DEADER, a hilarious comic strip following the skeleton Lifeless Carl in his daily grief of working a grueling office job, Never Been Deader creatively depicts how it feels to live the humdrum nine-to-five life in a wildly relatable way. Categories: Humor, Workplace, Offbeat Frequency: Daily Format: Available for print digital ABOUT THE STRIP As an employee in the Department of Intake at Afterlife Industries, Carl shares many of the same complaints as the usual non-deceased white-collar worker, like getting granted a half day but having to do double the work in part of the time. Or having to drink the most foul-tasting coffee you’ve ever had just because it’s free. Oh, and who can forget the lingering promise of a raise that has yet to take form in your bank account? Not Carl, that’s for sure! Luckily, Carl has his colleagues to alleviate some of his workplace anxiety, including Myrtle, his best work friend and confidant, Newbie, his often-confused trainee, and his sarcastic pet cat, Furball. So, this is what the Great Beyond gave to Lifeless Carl. It isn’t much, and it’s dead inside. REQUEST MORE INFO: https://lnkd.in/eNQYKMj9 #comics #webcomics #kingfeatures #comicstrips #dailycomics

Each month Born Licensing spotlights one of the characters we represent as licensing agent. This month we are celebrating a new addition to our roster, King Features’ Popeye, the tough sailor fuelled by hefty amounts of spinach. An underdog with bulging forearms, a mean uppercut and a love of canned spinach. Unassuming, unsophisticated and undeterred by a challenge, from the minute he walked into the comic strip, ‘Thimble Theater’, and muttered his famous “Ja think I’m a cowboy?” line, Popeye the Sailor Man™ captured the hearts of millions of fans around the globe. As the star of his own comic strips and animated series on the big screen and small, Popeye remains one of the most recognisable pop-culture icons in the world. #CharacterOfTheMonth #Popeye #Advertising
