He must really eat his spinach

Nope. Dino Pebbles and Cap'n Crunch. Just as an aside here- Forget spinach, Popeye's original super-power was that he was so lucky that you couldn't kill him. He'd rubbed so much luck out of the wiffle hen that he was able to survive being shot in the chest 16 times at point blank range and still pulverize the guy who shot him. Popeye was a tough dock brawler, a guy you didn't want to get into a fight with, but the whole spinach makes you super-strong bit came along later, codified by the Max Fleischer /Famous Studio cartoons.

Yup, and the whole eating spinach thing was a myth. Seems some researcher botched the calculations of the nutrients and made them much higher than they actually were, giving the illusion that spinach was mega healthy.

Actually, the whole spinach = incredible strength comes from Popeye and mostly from the animated cartoons. Before Popeye, spinach was just another vegetable that you ate because vegetables in general where good for you. Spinach was promoted because it contained iron, which was considered very healthy, but you also got iron from broccoli, cauliflower, and carrots, and carrots sure taste a heck of a lot better than spinach. E. C. Segar, Popeye's creator, introduced Spinach into Thimble Theatre about 1931 for two reasons- He thought it would be funny if Popeye's favorite food was something most people wouldn't eat unless forced to, and that it gave Popeye extra strength when needed. It was in this period that Popeye was
slowly becoming super human, and I believe that was because Segar had read Philip Wyle's novel GLADIATOR, a book that also influenced the creators of Superman. Segar used Spinach very sparingly in Thimble Theatre, Popeye was already so powerful that he could jerk-lift a whole small house without eating the weed first, but it became a ritual in the highly popular Fleischer cartoons (It was the Fleischers who had come up with the ideal that spinach could make anyone Hercules, by the way), that by the mid 1930s the "spinach turns you into strong" myth had become part of American Folklore. It had even become a gag in other cartoon series (Tex Avery used it in PORKY'S GARDEN, where a cute li'l fluffy baby chick eats spinach and turns into an ugly li'l fluffy yellow Popeye). Popeye made spinach popular, and helped bring prosperity to the Depression-ridden spinach farmers in Texas, who were so grateful that they erected a statue in honor of Popeye in 1938. I made a crack about my horse eating breakfast cereal to build himself up. Remember when breakfast cereals where supposed to work like spinach?- Sugar Crisp gave Sugar Bear "Muscles of Wheat", Cheerios made the Cheerios Kid strong enough to beat up huge dragons, OKS made Yogi Bear an ursine Mister Universe, and Frosted Flakes made Tony the Tiger strong, though it didn't matter because he kept falling on his face like a feline Jerry Lewis. Its all bullshirt, but I thought it was a funny gag.

He needs a can of spinach flying at him as well.....

That is DEFINITELY a weird incident. Thanks very much for sharing it with us! :)

See Schirm? It just takes a little touch of color to get the fans to really notice your work. I'm still trying to figure out a "Gag" fo the Popeye music, but I really like the art too.

I would have expected the theme from "Rocky" for this stud, but "Popeye the Sailor" works, too.
