Popeye builds up his strenf

Description

A recent commission of my favorite cartoon cartoon character, Popeye. For those who don't know, Popeye originally got his strength from rubbing the head of the Whiffle Hen. Spinach didn't come into play until years later, and was more a convention of the animated cartoons than the comic strip.

There was a sustained story where Castor Oyl tried to kill the whiffle hen (to win a bet from its original owner).Like Eugene the Jeep, her powers bordered on the supernatural...

The strip was originally named Thimble Theater and had Olive Oyl dealing with a top-hatted stage villain named Willy Wormwood.
