EC Segar Popeye comics and Big Bosoms and Square Jaws: The Biography of Russ Meyer (paperback)

Got it 👍 thanks for the discussion!

I see. So you feel the whole first act Perfidia is depicted only like a caricature instead of a fully fleshed out character?

But, and I’m asking with sincere interest, could a character/person, not have those traits? She was an intense person raised in a family heritage of rebellion, as her mother pointed out. And Willa, thankfully, was not “sexualized” like that but did shared her mother’s fire

Yeah okay I could see that. Lockejaw’s behaviour definitely was cringe af ha. And when they were explicitly sexualizing her it was through his binoculars

Lockjaw was definitely racist and turned on by his racist taboo fetish that was his obsession. But I also think Perfidia having desire in regard to becoming aroused during high risk moments of tension was fun, interesting, and also used for humour. Also set up differences between Lockejaw and Bob
