I never understood what Popeye and Brutus saw in her. ;)

A good friend of mine who was living in Lebanon in the '80s told me that the Lebanese liked Popeye cartoons. They just view them differently.

First, they kind of like Bluto/Brutus, as he looks rather Arabic.

Second, they don't see the irony of fighting over Olive Oyl, as they believe that's what ALL American women look and act like.

Third, it was commonly thought that Bluto/Brutus was actually fighting Popeye over the Spinach, which is well-loved in the region.

That is just hilarious!

I happen to love spinach too, but not enough to make me chase a woman like Olive Oyl.
