>96 years later>still allowed to smoke a pipeEven Sherlock Holmes had to ditch his pipe and coke. How the FUCK is Popeye getting away with it?
see here's where The Flintstone's fucked up. If they had promoted healthy vitamins AND cigarettes they could've cornered the market. The had to course correct and take over the breakfast cereal racket instead.
Tobacco is AmericanPopeye is AmericanPopeye is Tobacco
It’s as integral to him as the anchor tattoos, although I don’t think he’s smoked from it since the 50s at the latest.
>>150429853Smoking is making a come back. Perry White (black) was smoking a cigar in the new Superman. Which is funny because he had to die of cancer before he stopped in the comics. He got better.
>>150429853Popeye is barely a thing anymore
>>150429853That pipe's not even in his mouth.
>>150430673Maybe it's just a tiny wooden mallet now...
>>150429853This was covered in a PSA in Popeye and Son. He hasn't smoked out of the pipe in years, he has it specifically to use as a whistle. He toots it when he's angry, surprised, or for emphasis in his theme song.
>>150430001They took big tobacco money to have a smoking character. Any movie with a smoking character and no disclaimer that production was in no way, shape, or form compensate for a depiction of tobacco got paid like a product placement.
>>150429853He's a cartoon. He can get away with it.
>>150429853You made me remember this
Popeye didn't have his pipe in the Sony Animation movie, not even in the leaked animatic
>>150429853Nigga only actually smoked it like once in the last century, and corn cob pipes are so rare that fuckin' nobody can emulate him anyway, I don't even think they make the fake ones for kids anymore.Am I stupid? I only just now found out that corn cob pipes are made from actual corn cobs, that's why they're called that. I'm not a smoker, obviously.
>>150429853He’s a sailor man
>>150429853He's using such an archaic version of the smoking pipe, it's probably just over looked. It's also a part of his design silhouette isn't it?
It's part of his theme song and he also uses it similar to Superman's heat vision. i.e. to weld or burn things. You can't get rid of it.
Bump
>>150429853I LOVE spinach!
>>150432178I grew up in the 90s and basically every general store at the time still sold corncob pipes although they were almost treated as a novelty item. Might be a generational or even regional thing.
>>150429853nobody cares about popeye
>>150435251Thats not true.
>>150435251I somewhat care
>>150429853trademark?if they dont use the pipe people can rule lawyer about the patents and character design I think
>>150429853Well let's see you try to take it away from him. Go right ahead. Try.
>>150435251Just cuz you care not for Popeye doesn't mean countless others feel the same
>>150435251I could not imagine having an opinion that was devoid of so much truth.
>>150437189*cocks spinach cans**flexes**nuclear bomb explodes in deltoids*
>>150432146>>150432134The Tartavosky movie was Popeye's real last hope of regaining relevancy and I still lament it's loss now. However it's plain to see they were going to sand off his edges and reduce him to a plucky young hero. The awful youtube series took that a step further by reframing Bluto's motivation around Popeye's spinach instead of Olive. It's so fucking infuriating how badly the ball's been fumbled with Popeye. Seriously what the fuck are the think tanks behind these dcisions smoking?
>>150436293spankable
>>150429853pointing this stuff out is what gets it removed, don't make an issue of it
>>150437754why is the amogus such a cunt
>>150432178
>>150435251Piss off. Mario wouldn't exist without Popeye and you'd be stuck playing electronic football or watching shrinkydinks
>>150438462Well they said the same about Wallace and Gromit vs the were rabbit. Now look at them.
>>150429853Because he's smoking spinach.
>>150432146>>150432134>eugene the jeepGet that ugly creature off my screen and bring back Wimpy
>>150438462Look, at least we have the modern newspaper comics. It's not much, but they are 10/10.
>>150430391Popeye is still the unofficial mascot of the Navy Boatswain's Mate.
>>150439334Yeh
>>150430001>Cigars give Perry super powers
>>150440310He's also the mascot of fucking spinach
>>150432134why does he have a rape whistle
>>150432178you can still get them, but the only people ive ever seen smoking them legitly are either the oldest mfers in the south, or my asian calculus professortheyre also stupid easy to make
>>150432178If you can't make your own, Missouri Meerschaums are like $8 and those bitches will last for years if you do even the minumum level effort maintenance.
Are YOU gonna tell him not to?
>>150429956>CAUSE WINSTON TASTES GOOD LIKE A *click click* CIGARETTE SHOULDAs a kid I really like spinach due to Popeye (reruns. I'm a gen Z) so that Flinstone's marketing would have 100% worked on me if I sawit every episode
>>150429853God, that canned spinach was HORRIBLE. It looked and tasted like someone had pissed in the can at the canning facility. Had me convinced for 2 decades that I hated spinach. Damn you, Popeye.
>>150434393>>150432178I'm in Ohio, a couple different drug store chains sell them around me.
His design looks incomplete without it, simple as
Personally I prefer Bluto because I like the dichotomy of Bluto being muscular as shit and still losing to the runt. But Brutus gets the SHIT beat out of him more. Please post more webms of Popeye doing absurd shit
>>150441693It’s not as absurd as your gif, but here’s Popeye punching Harpo Marx.
Anybody got a gif of that wolf bitch kissing Bluto?
>>150441584If you can't eat your spinach with a spon are you really eating Spinach?
>>150440305
>>150436293Why are his pants so fucking tight?
>>150442183His legs and calves are as humongus as his arms
Bump for more popeye gifs
I’ve noticed in several cartoons the backgrounds distort when an action happens.
Reminder Popeye is androgynous.
>>150432178I have a corncob pipe you can find them in any tobacco shop
>>150432178I'm in the south they're not that rare where I live they have them at gas stations, personally I really like them you can just abuse the shit out of them and not worry about tobacco ghosting
Nintendo made and a Popeye video game but then they turned it into Donkey Kong. Mario is literally Popeye. That is Popeyes legacy. he gave us Mario
>>150445055>slup my soupJust reading that makes me hate this guy.
>>150445055I don't get why he was always so broke despite coming across as wealthy
>>150441431To announce himself.
>>150445055Why does Geezil hate Wimpy?
>>150447122You'd hate Wimpy too. Wimpy is like DSP if he wasn't a gamer
