I'm unabashedly Team Popeye. I have no idea why this is even an issue.

I vote Coleman Francis Mountain...or possibly Rick Sloane.
Seriously, though, Popeye's the poopie.

"I will gladly pay you Thursday for a hamburger today."
Guys, this guy knows what it's like on the mean streets. He always gets my vote.

How could you vote against a guy with American flags, symbols of capitalist industrialism, and at least one entire battleship from the United States Navy contained in his bicep?! You commie. |

With Popeye, we're giving power to a guy who uses his superhuman, photosynthetic strength to punch things as a viable solution to problems.
With Wimpy, we've got a guy who asks us for hamburgers.
I can afford to give a guy a couple hamburgers. I dunno if I can afford many trips to the emergency room to fix my broken nose.

I guess I'll be the lone dissenting vote then. Wormer, Marmalade, Niedermeyer, and Stephen Bishop got what they deserved.

As serious a subject as this is, it probably belongs in Sloane.
Team Wimpy, 4-Evah!

You're completely ignoring the fact that Popeye only uses his enormous strength on "pallokas what ain't on the up and square." Given his exemplary track record of moral judgment I'm comfortable with letting Popeye carry on the way he has. |

That's the thing, though. Sure, granting the power of Judge, Jury and Executioner to Popeye wouldn't be a bad idea. The world would undoubtedly be a better place for it.
But can we truly control who will follow Popeye? Can we trust future generations of Popeye's successors to be as grounded in decency, moral fibre, and no-nonsense approaches to obvious problems?
We would be setting ourselves and future generations up for dictators, we would. A can of spinach would come to be synonymous with the lashes of oppressive tyrants from all across history.

I have to agree with Afgncaap5 on this. Team Wimpy, guys. Because really, what's more American than bugers?

I should express my feminist outrage by protesting for Olive Oyl.
Of course, I'm insane, so I'll just vote for Alice Goon.
