Popeye was invented by Big Spinach to boost sales of their floppy bitter slop.
@KevBot Hey, when I was a kid, I loved the old Popeye cartoons made by the Fleischer Brothers. So much, that I asked my parents to get me some spinach. They did. It tasted yuck. But as an adult I learned to really like it, mainly in its creamed form.
@KevBot @dadakopf. Fleischer Popeye is the best animated Popeye but still far inferior to the Segar original.
