And what Popeye is, above all, is the strongest sailor in the world. In this powerful original drawing, Joan Vizcarra captures the most iconic moment of every Popeye story: the final punch. Little Popeye, pipe clenched in his teeth and anchor tattoo on his famous oversized forearm, delivers a thunderous uppercut to his eternal rival Bluto (also known as Brutus). The huge bearded bully is lifted clean off his feet, flying backwards with his eyes rolling and a crown of stars circling his head. Drawn entirely in graphite pencil on warm-toned paper, the piece is a true lesson in movement and composition: the diagonal of the punch, the energetic speed lines, the impact burst and the contrast between the small, determined sailor and the giant falling backwards. Its loose, layered strokes give it the feel of an original animation drawing from the golden age of 1930s cartoons. A big, dynamic and wonderfully fun piece for collectors of classic American comics and animation. Popeye, created by E.C. Segar in 1929, has been punching Bluto for almost a century… and it never gets old. ▸ Graphite pencil on paper ▸ Format: 46 x 32 cm (unframed) Joan Vizcarra is one of Spain's most recognised illustrators, admired internationally for his expressive and highly detailed style.
