The blessings continue: sales reports have confirmed that FLEA FLICKERS books have sold in France, Poland, and Germany! :O :O :O Thank you so much to everyone that has supported and encouraged us along the way…AND, if you want YOUR own books (or to put your country on the FLEA FLICKERS map!), here are the Amazon links below!
I can relate! It would be similar to the time I learned my Popeye collage drawing had been published in Italy!

That’s amazing! Congratulations on that! I’d enjoy to see that collage π

Let me see if I can locate a scan or photo and I’ll share the link. The page was originally done in 1999 for Popeye’s 70th, and the NCS asked for auction submissions in 2019 for the 90th. I was bogged down and couldn’t finish what I intended to send so I located the 1999 piece. It sold in the charity auction and a couple of years later turned up in Italy.
Congratulations!
Thanks so much! And I have no problem admitting it was a huge surprise π

Perhaps I am not allowed to post a link.
Or maybe I am! π
The link doesn’t appear to work on my phone…gonna try it out on my laptop, though! π
It’s a photo on Facebook. I can try to locate a better copy eventually. Actually, the art may still show up at Heritage auctions. Here is one – not Popeye, but Lum and Abner:

Thank you so much! I never dreamed it would be published in Italy. Nope – never got a dime for it!
Aha! Got to see Popeye on my phone after all! The evolution of the art style and the different expressions are terrific! π
Congratulations! π
Thanks so much! βΊ
Youβre welcome! π
