The Blinn College-Brenham Campus Theatre Arts Program has brought some of the nation’s most iconic cartoon characters to life. “Popeye and Gang at the Zoo,” based on characters created by E.C. Segar for his comic strip Thimble Theatre, is now available for viewing.
“Popeye and Gang at the Zoo” was one of the programs in the “Popeye the Sailor” radio series that ran from 1935-38. It is part of the Blinn Theatre Arts Program’s “On the Air” series modeled after radio plays popular in the 1930s and 1940s.
