As brought to my attention by the excellent Occasional Heroine blog
Sometimes it's good to be reminded of the fundamentals. Special thanks to the Classic Cartoon blog.
"A Commitment To Our Roots" Dept.:
From the first Popeye cartoon, "Popeye The Sailor Man", Bluto manages to get Olive to the circus where she spurns him... you can guess what happens.
Bluto - date rapist.
Yeah, just not a nice guy...
Here he comes - "S'like her legks is made a rubbersk..."
"Ready fa pole-vaultinksk.."
The wind-up...
...and the pitch! It's good!
Note that Olive has not stopped berating Popeye at any point.
Damn, that's good stuff...
