Popeye and his anorexic girlfriend, Olive Oyl, date back all the way back to January 1920 and even still have their own official website ( http://www.popeye.com/ ) . With grotesquely huge forearms and the original “cankles” Popeye chugs cold cans of raw spinach to give him superhuman strength to fight his nemesis, the bully Bluto.
