After nearly a hundred years in existence, the Popeye comic strip is reportedly getting a woke makeover, with the strip’s latest cartoonist promising more ethnic diversity and “more characters who aren’t heterosexual.”

Cartoonist Randal K. Milholland described the Popeye character as being “gender fluid,” citing old episodes in which the plot required Popeye to dress in drag.

“I [want] to bring in more characters who aren’t heterosexual,” Milholland said in an interview with the San Antonio Express-News. “I don’t live in that purely straight white world, and I don’t think a lot of other people do either.”

The pink mafia screws up everything.

I’ve always wondered what’s up with Wimpy...and how about those sea hags always kidnapping Olive Oyl?

[PAR35]

Well, he was a sailor that probably got lonely at sea while Bluto was entertaining Olive Oyl ashore.

[the OlLine Rebel]

I didn’t know Popeye was still around.

Would that HE weren’t.

Sick of these weirdo enablers changing everything.

[Captain Peter Blood]

Can people just leave well enough alone, So Popeye will now be Gay or bisexual, what will become of Olive Oyl , Bluto, and Wimpy???????

[mware]

Oh no. Wonder what they are going to do with Alice the Goon.

Yeah just like Milton Berle, or Jack Lemmon and Tony Curtis in “Some Like It Hot”, or the Three Stooges in several of their episodes. All big gender fluid guys.

Popeye is in the Navy after all…

Cross-dressing used to be a topic of humor, not a sacrament. “That’s all I can stands cause I can’t stands no more!”

[Lazamataz]

So, "Spinach" is the nickname of his male friend?

"I fights to the finish, cuz I eats me Spinach, says Popeye the Sailor Man!"

[MinorityRepublican]

Leave old cartoons alone. Create new cartoons and feel free to do with what you want to do.

[cameraeye]

What, Alice the Goon isn’t good enough? n/s

[TheDon]

They can’t just create their own stories but must distort ours.

[Palio di Siena]

Sweet Pea is sooo screwed.

[stormhill]

This is just more recruitment and grooming on a mass scale.
We may not have noticed but we're actually at the level of Sodom where for all intents and purpose the culture is shouting at us, "bring out the young men that we may know them!"

I would love to see a remake of Popeye. I think Jeremy Renner would make a great Popeye with Liam Neesom as his old man. Not a musical remake though although the 1980 Robin Williams version was terrific, but it should be more fantasy/action-adventure though. And the Sea Hag should be the villain, not Bluto.
