Popeye, Vol. 177, published in June 1984, captures the easygoing charm of everyday life through its Father’s Day Special Edition, titled “That’s You, Daddy!” In this issue, Popeye—the iconic “Magazine for City Boys”—turns its gaze toward family and intergenerational style, exploring the subtle elegance of workwear and overalls as a bridge between fathers and sons. Blending fashion, humor, and warmth, the magazine celebrates a shared sense of craftsmanship and casual authenticity, reflecting Japan’s growing fascination with American culture and domestic reinterpretations of it. With its bright palette and editorial sincerity, this issue stands as a tender snapshot of 1980s Tokyo youth culture learning from the generation before it.
