‘Magazine for City Boys’
It's that time again—Popeye kicks the new year off early with its annual Girlfriend issue. Go-kart in blazers, catch the sunrise, roadtrip to the sea, eat your way around town, or a date at the Canadian embassy(?)—all this plus more in their guide to celebrating the special City Girl in your life.
According to the editors:
‘Popeye magazine is the “Magazine for City Boys”. The founders printed this on the cover of the magazine when it debuted in 1976. What’s a “city boy”? The term doesn’t appear in the dictionary and no expert panel could define it. So we felt we should explore every aspect of what this “city boy” might be. After decades of debate, it still makes for a topic of lively discussion. It can be a style or a way of thinking. To get an idea of what makes a city boy, read Popeye magazine.'
