Lou Ford is the deputy sheriff of a small town in Texas. The worst thing most people can say against him is that he’s a little slow and a little boring. But, then, most people don’t know about the sickness—the sickness that almost got Lou put away when he was younger. The sickness that is about to surface again.

Popeye Classics, Vol. 8: I Hate Bullies and More
Bud Sagendorf (w & a & c)
Another splendiferous volume of Popeye Classics (collect them all!). Cartoon Research yelps, “It’s rare that the comic book version of a popular comic strip is as good or better than the original. This is one of those rare exceptions. Sagendorf is immersed in Segar’s world. His storytelling abilities are superb and his cartooning is a joy to behold. Sagendorf owned this universe as much as Segar–other artists have been able substitutes, but Sagendorf knew these eccentric personalities inside and out!”
