For the record. I dismiss ANYTHING Snopes related

I'm sure dismissing anything snopes says, and believing everything Gateway Pundit and Newsmax says is perfectly mentally healthy. I'm not saying the4 Popeye creator wasn't influenced by the guy. I"m just saying that's not his picture. This is pretty basic research stuff Coach... Give it a try. Just for fun, pretend I posted that meme... You became curious about it because you grew up watching the cartoon. You do a little digging and ......... well, give it a shot.. just for fun.

Cartoon characters are usually based on amalgamations of several people cartoon producers have met.

Popeye was probably a combination of several maritime sailors.

Like the way Bugs Bunny was making fun of people in Brooklyn during the 1930's.

Leave the politics out. You’re not ready for it.

That's a baffling statement. No politics.... other than you have a pattern of imbecilic behavior underlined by your meme. The words are correct, but the picture is false. This is textbook 101 research. If you are unable, unwilling, incapable of a simple task like this, how in the world do you expect anyone to believe anything you post unless they are as warped as you are?

I’ve personally met Pops at the toon conventions and he is a stand up guy. He’s had a few strokes (and getting punched by that fat fuck Bluto hasn’t helped) and that’s why he talks kind of funny. Overall I like the guy. I’ve told him that when I destroy the earth with my Illudium Q36 - I’ll spare he and his lovely (hey he thinks so) bride.

Good cartoon, the other day i saw a dude who reminded me of Popeye, huge forearms but upper arms were not that big, it looked kinda silly. Idk what kind of labor work that dude did but it's a silly look imo

Been doing some googling.
Found some pictures of the supposed real Popeye:

Pretty sure the first one is a fake. What's up with that edema in his forearms? Terminal case of tennis elbow??

You sound like my older brother. Critical thought and reflection regarding various subjects do not matter. What matters is that you are always right. You would like him, he is into men. How tight are your glutes?

Thinking back to the cartoon (haven't watched it in over 30 years) but Popeye was basically a white knight simp

A so called adult starts a thread about a cartoon character being real. You call it "critical thought", then launch into a homosexual themed diatribe so common among Getbig's closet cases. Get a job.

Yep. Olive Oil was a flatback with no tits so why was he always trying to get with her?

Olive had NO redeeming qualities.
