☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeIn this 1947 Four Color #168 gem, Popeye and Olive stumble upon a hidden water hole on Olive’s desert property, leading them to Slither Creek where they sell the land to Mayor Gunrod—unaware it’s the town’s sole water source. When Gunrod begins charging $100 a cup, Popeye takes matters into his own hands, digging a well right in the middle of town’s main street. Written, drawn, inked, and lettered by Bud Sagendorf, with cover art by Sagendorf, this classic adventure blends slapstick humor with a timely twist, all in a 10-cent comic from 1947.
In "Microbe Battle," Mr. K. O. Biffer, ever the schemer, tricks Popeye into signing a contract that pits Swee'pea against Baby Boom for the bizarre "Microbeweight" title. With the stakes higher than a spinach can, the tiny titans take the ring in a slap-swapping showdown that’s as hilarious as it is unexpected.
In "Water Hole," Popeye and Olive stumble upon a rare water source on Olive’s desert land, leading them to sell the property to Mayor Gunrod—only to discover too late that the well is the town’s sole water supply. When Gunrod begins charging $100 a cup, Popeye takes matters into his own hands, launching a defiant dig right in the middle of Slither Creek’s main street.
In "Fish Bait," Popeye heads out on a fishing trip with the perpetually bickering Prof. Herman H. Haddock and Dr. G. B. Bluzard, two scientists locked in a friendly feud over who’ll be the first to catch the elusive Roccus Scomberomorus Lineatus—better known as the "Flip Fish."
