Immaculate Deceptions
It’s things like this that keep me up at night. Like that Minute Maid commercial where Popeye and Bluto appear to have reconciled their differences, much to Olive Oyl’s distress. Wondering what sort of patients were kept on the Montgomery Ward. Being concerned that Doctors Without Borders put an end to that book store chain. What do I do if I’m driving at high speed down the Interstate and something goes wrong with the glove box? Do I need to have gloves in the glove box to pass state inspection requirements? It’s no wonder I never get any sleep…

In actuality, Swee’pea was a foundling, left upon Popeye’s doorstep in a box (1933). As he felt unqualified to raise an ‘infink’, Olive Oyl cared for the lad. It was implied at later times that Swee-pea was Popeye’s nephew, but never confirmed, nor denied. All in all, fodder for fans of the strip’s discussions. :}
It’s been so long since I’ve seen any Popeye cartoons, and I don’t think I’ve ever seen this explanation before. Thank you for telling us! 🙂
As a big Popeye fan growing up, I got a kick out of this!
