19/20 - The one I got wrong wasn't in the Animated series, but in the Bud Sagendorf comic strip version
Well it’s because of Popeye that I love spinach 👍🏿💯 Interesting fun fact about Popeye coining the phrase Doofus & Nintendo’s Donkey Kong was intended for Popeye 🥰 #LearnSomethingNewEveryday #RIP ROBINWILLIAMS DIED ON MY BDAY THAT YR... #BESTPOPEYEEVER
I loved Popeye as a kid, but I always found it irritating the way that Olive Oyl keeps yelling for him to help her out of whatever mess she got herself into. Never been crazy about spinach either; I always thought it was part of the Dept. of Agriculture's WW2 campaign to get kids to eat more vegetables, to make up for the shortage of meat. Nevertheless, I still feel warmth in the cockles of my heart for the old spinach eater. Loved the way Robin Williams portrayed him in the movie too, even though the critics didn't. Who cares what movie critics think, anyway? As Popeye says, "I yam what I yam and that's all that I yam!"
