Popeye is one guy that is at one within his own skin.

He knows who he is, and what he is about.

There is a lot to like about Popeye.

Even if he is a salior.

Fairy tales are universal...so you will see the same stories retold over and over again in many places and times.

But that doesn’t mean that they all descended from the same story told ten thousand years ago.

For some reason, certain similar ideas pop up in cultures that have no contact (e.g. agriculture, the flood stories, religion/philosophy) that have many similarities...

A ground breaking book in this area...one apparently largely plagiarized from a 1963 book by Julius Heuscher, “A Psychiatric Study of Fairy Tales: Their Origin, Meaning and Usefulness”, at least according to Bettleheim’s biographer Richard Pollak in his book “The Creation of Dr. B”.

Popeye - The original, and still the greatest of the existentialist philosophers:


"I yam what I yam and that's all that I yam....."

Yeah.
That’s some *real* “archetypal” stuff, right there.

Everybody should read Carl Jung’s “The Archetypes and The Collective Unconscious”.
