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.

[Chode]

pure GAIDS!!! fnhell...

[cuban leaf]

“I yam what I yam” brings on a whole new meaning. 🤣

[Southside_Chicago_Republican]

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.

++++++

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.

[griswold3]

Popeye is in the Navy after all…

[Billthedrill]

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.

[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!"

[Bigg Red]

Pervs just love bringing their perversions into everything.

[Dr. Sivana]

Unfortunately, Popeye's been messed up for years. From Wikipedia:

From 1986 to 1992, the daily strip was written and drawn by Bobby London, who, after some controversy, was fired from the strip for a story that could be taken to satirize abortion.

[Category Four]

Jack Mercer has been dead for almost forty years; Elzie Segar, for over eighty.

Each man's right pinky finger was, and remains today, a bigger man than this asshat cartoonist.

[Dr. Sivana]

Popeye is down to 20 papers carrying Sunday strips, and 8 papers carrying repeats of daily strips. (High of 600 papers in the glory days of Segar)

That makes VERY little money for the artist/writer. I suspect King Features keeps it going because of Popeye’s cross-platform appeal, and its antiquity. They let “Bring Up Father” (Maggie and Jiggs) go, and may have regrets.
