Gallimard, seit langem eines der größten Verlagshäuser Frankreichs, hat seinen Stammsitz in der Pariser rue Sébastien-Bottin. Der Verlag wurde 1911 auf Initiative der Schriftsteller André Gide und Jean Schlumberger ins Leben gerufen. Sein Gründer Gaston Gallimard (1881–1975) – er gab auch Frankreichs berühmteste Literaturzeitschrift „Nouvelle Revue Française“ heraus, deren erster Chefredakteur André Gide war – besaß ebenso viel literarisches Gespür wie kommerzielles Geschick. Und diese wertvolle Mischung sichert dem Verlag noch heute Unabhängigkeit und Vorrangstellung. Zu den zahlreichen Autoren, die bei Gallimard erschienen, zählen unter anderen Marcel Proust, Milan Kundera, Georges Simenon, Antonin Artaud, Jean-Paul Sartre, Simone de Beauvoir, Albert Camus, Louis-Ferdinand Céline, Jean Genet, Louis Aragon, André Malraux, Eugène Ionesco, Nathalie Sarraute und Marguerite Duras.

Popeye drops a TV off at the orphanage; the program that comes on is a boxing match he's supposed to be in, so he dashes off. The fight is against the champ, who is huge. Popeye gets pummelled in the first round, but his fighting spirit materializes and advises him to outwit his opponent. In the second round, he does so. The champ then uses a light socket to "burn out" Popeye so he can't outthink him, and (as with the rest of this pun-filled match) "knocks him cold", turning him into a block of ice. The orphans feed Popeye his spinach right through the TV set, and he comes back to knock the champ through the screen.
