Olive Oyl was a man. Everybody knows that.
Why else would two SAILORS be after his patootie? And there wasn't a single feminine characteristic present.

I should express my feminist outrage by protesting for Olive Oyl. Of course, I'm insane, so I'll just vote for Alice Goon. Why not the Sea Hag? Sure she's an evil pirate and witch, but she's certainly a strong female figure, the main villian in the original comics. (Olive is also much more fiesty in the original comics, which is reflected in the earlier cartoons)

My point exactly. Popeye and Bluto wanted nothing to do with the definitely female Sea Hag, yet couldn't stop fighting over the very masculine, or as Angliasman calls it, "fiesty" Olive. Even the WORD "Olive" comes from the dialectal Greek "elaiwa," which is related to "oleaceous," which means "oil." The ancient Greeks were ahead of their time, so clearly this meant "motor oil" which couldn't be more masculine if it excreted from our nipples.
Not to mention Popeye's nourishment came exclusively "in the can."
So while the all-male leanings of Popeye, Bluto and Olive are fine in today's more-enlightened society, Sia should really embrace her inner Sea Hag if she wants to go the Feminist route.

No. I like maternal lunatics. So Alice Goon.
Sit and spin, Mitchie.

Actually, E.C. Segar just liked to draw everyone really ugly. Once Olive and Popeye became a couple he started drawing more traditional beauties occasionally to compete for Popeye's affection, which would rile Olive (who wouldn't hasten to beat the tar out of another women getting too close to her man).
Everyone in Popeye is really ugly, especially Popeye himself.
...at least from a traditional standpoint. From an artistic standpoint I think Popeye's look is a triumph of design.

You'd like to THINK that, wouldn't you?
You've fallen victim to one of the classic blunders! The first of which is "Never get involved in a land war in Asia", but only SLIGHTLY less know is this: "Never talk about masturbation with a shut-in, when spooge is on the line! AH HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA..."

Olive Oil was a 10 cent whore. And Popeye was a pansy prick.
Bluto's a man I could share a beer with, and skip out on the tab. Always liked him.
