Lately, I've been sharing my outgoing emails with you. Some readers, however, may be curious to see the messages I receive.
Here's an actual sampling, starting with a question about the eagerly anticipated "Popeye the Sailor: 1941-43, Vol. 3" DVD set.
Did Popeye come out on Amazon? It sez Nov.! You tryin' to steer me wrong?
The one-eyed sailor man rules!

P.S. You think Wimpy could get credit these days with his "I'll gladly pay you Tuesday..." line?
Bluto:
The Popeye release date appears to have been pushed back to Nov. 4th.
As for credit, yes.
In fact, my house is mortgaged through Wimpy Mac.

I doubt the Giant was getting trimmed.
His niblets were creamated.

OK, Mike, they can't all be gems.... May Andy Rooney gang-whisk you with his eyebrow hairs.
May you break the pointer on The Flaccid Meter.
