Number E-11 “Popeye and Public Service Careers.” Written by Joe Gill with art by Tony Di Preta. George Wildman cover.<\/h5>\n
In the early 1970s, Charlton Comics (in conjunction with King Syndicate, and bearing the King banner on the cover) released a series of educational comics for kids on the subject of future careers. As a spokesperson for this series on career guidance, they chose Popeye! Of course any modern Human Resources department would have a problem with his history of gambling and anger issues. There were a total of fifteen E-Series comics featuring Popeye and a host of assorted disciplines, including:<\/h5>\n
Popeye and Health Careers
\nPopeye and Environmental Careers
\nPopeye and Communications and Media Careers
\nPopeye and Transportation Careers
\nPopeye and Construction Careers
\nPopeye and Consumer and Homemaking
\nPopeye and Manufacturing Careers
\nPopeye and Hospitality and Recreation Careers
\nPopeye and Marketing and Distribution Careers
\nPopeye and Marketing and Office Careers
\nPopeye and Public Service Careers
\nPopeye and Personal Service Careers
\nPopeye and Marine Science Careers
\nPopeye and Fine Arts and Humanities Careers
\nPopeye and Agri-Business-Natural Resources Careers<\/h5>\n
In these comics Popeye abandons of his signature patter and talks like a government-commissioned educational film. And like a dated educational film the series has it’s share of cringe worthy scenes, \u201cSometimes women are good at this job, too!\u201d In an attempt at racial inclusivity pink-skinned Caucasians are featured with brown-skinned African-Americans, highlighter-yellow-skinned Asians, greenish-gray-skinned sub-continental Indians. This is what “being woke” looked liked in 1972.<\/h5>\n
