Interpreting for Erotic Art....


OK...

We believe we mentioned this earlier,
perhaps not...

This lousy photo is panel  #1/16 of a fabulously hand penned, fabulously hand colored and fabulously conceived artwork, (promotional, I'm fairly certain), dated 1947 by a Hungarian artist (give the name later), Twelve by nine, (Imperial), executed on high quality paper of which I have seldom seen (non-acidic in '47?).
Strange.
It's a comic book, a pornographic comic book! From post war (haaaah!), Europe.
The narrative being located at the bottom of each panel, in Magyar, of course, (the language of Hungary).

Anyway, 
Janos is translating the text..., literally..
So that we may then translate/interpret it into conversational, American English (literal English in the manner of Popeye speak, and after all, Popeye is American)....

Therefore,
to impose upon our readers:

A Proper English Translation for Panel #1 As Follows:

The ship of our heros had no sooner reached Marseilles, that Popeye and his friend are already beating the streets......
Then a Negro doorman jumps in their way and invites them into the whorehouse.

BUT

"""The client", wants it to have more "Rhythm" ...".
OK, Groovey....

So, Her Highness has to do a wee bit more laundry...
Groovy....

Subsuquently,

For panel #1: 

"No sooner in Marseilles, where the ship did dock,
that Popeye & his pal went off exploring, half-cocked...
Beating the streets looking to play, 
'Til a big, black doorman jumps in their way...
Well, they heard out his pitch without a dispute...
Then agreed to enter this house; a house of ill-repute...".


What do you think???
Honestly, 
I'm looking for honesty...

AND -
WAIT TILL YOU SEE THIS ARTIST'S ILLUSTRATIONS OF BODILY FLUIDS!!!

SO....

Let's fast forward to #13/16,
shall we?

Can't wait to interpret this one....
And this is a clean one!

We did notice this in the original translation though:
"Massages his wilted prostate with his dick".....

We are going to have to make Scotty work, because these need to be documented.....
i.e.
So as they will not only be viewed by the filthy rich....

If I was in a better way, I would  have forced them to be scanned.

Color me gone...

    I oilways had me's feelings that the fightings between Popeye and Brutus was oil just foreplay.

    Now I's got me some's proof...
