	Expert About th:Thimble
		A thimble was an ideal gift for a young man to give his loved one, because it was used daily and so would remind the girl of her suitor each time she sewed.
		Thimbles are lucky; years ago it was tradition to put a miniature silver thimble into the Christmas pudding, and the finder would enjoy good fortune throughout the year.
		The late 16th-century gold, jeweled thimble is said to have belonged to Queen Elizabeth I. The thimble is reputed to have belonged to Queen Elizabeth I, who is believed to have given it to one of her ladies-in-waiting.

	THE GOSPEL ACCORDING TO POPEYE
		We are pleased to present an excerpt from Robert Fulton's (Ph.D. Columbia University, Comparative Religions) ground-breaking research on the original source material, the comic strip Thimble Theatre, which ran in American newspapers in the 1930s and introduced the character of Popeye to a breathless world.
		No figure in the Thimble Theatre canon is more expressively human than Wimpy.
		He is the epitome of modern man, forever asking for grace ("I would gladly pay Tuesday for a hamburger today."), reneging on his promises, then demanding justice for everyone else.

	Reading The Funnies: Essays on Comic Strips (Seattle, WA: Fantagraphics Books 2001) by Donald Phelps
		What Thimble Theatre yields up, through most of its stages, is a feeling of fugitive desperation, of these figures fighting their way, determinedly and recurrently, out of some abstract limbo, like spooks trying to regain – or retain – their hold on the real.
		Moreover, I was able, through his words, to re-read Thimble Theatre as I always imagined comic strips ought to be read – starting with the sense of what one sees.
		Illustrations for the other sections are not quite so generous (in the case of the Kliban essay they are entirely lacking, doubtless because of costs), but in all cases there is sufficient material to give readers an introduction to the work Phelps is discussing.
