Should we put this in the thread about not getting a joke?

Icctrombone, I never saw that book, and now i am intrigued. No criticism of the cover entry should be inferred, but that actual comic was one of the few comics I've ever actively loathed. Eclipse Comics made an offer in CBG where you could send in any comic book you didn't like and they'd send you one of their publications, and that POPEYE was what I mailed them. (I've wiped my mind of most of what annoyed me about it, but one aspect is right there on the cover: in an attempt to evoke Popeye's unique speech patterns, they cutely subtitled it "Borned to the Sea" instead of "Born to the Sea", which doesn't work since even Popeye would have to unconvincingly strain to accentuate any audible difference between those two phrases. As I recall, the issue was filled with failed attempts to capture that distinctive Popeye voice, as if the writer never read any of the dialogue out loud to see if it sounded right. So when the readers are mentally voicing it to themselves, almost everything Popeye says "sounds" wrong.)
