To be fair, Olive Oyl doesn’t look like the kind of woman that would raise ANYONE’S blood pressure.

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

She gots a purty mouff!

Yeah, but look at THEM.

Maybe it was because she was the only young woman on the show. Anyone who has visited GTMO or other isolated base would immediately recognize the phenomenon.

If the arithmetic is right, she doesn't even have to be young.

More calculii will surely follow ...

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.
