‘Magazine for City Boys’ A dose of spontaneity in Popeye’s August 2025 issue, as the team don backpacks and head off to Asia in search of ‘tropical adventures’—with recommendations on the coolest places to eat, hang out and shop in Hong Kong, Luang Prabang, Ho Chi Minh City, Bangkok and Bali, plus a ‘cooking guide for city boys,’ complete with a delicious healthy courgette recipe. 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.’ magazineworld.jp/popeye
