I loved the Popeye cartoons. We had access to some of the best cartoons in the 60's.

Another fun fact, Popeye the cartoon was created for a Spinach commercial. It became a hit and launched it into its own series.

AWESOME. Popeye is literally the reason I LOVE spinach, greens, and kale. I love most vegetables but Popeye is the reason I tried green vegetables.

Look at his face man. These lines indicate that he had gone through a lot of different situations like when feeling happy, stressed, or anxiety. He looks like he was a good uncle❤

He's technically the first man to have a cartoon cosplay as him.
