Where did Popeye go?

I don't know why the hell I am writing this review. I guess it's because Friday afternoons are boring as hell and I actually thought of doing a Popeye search. If memory serves me correctly, Popeye is trying to get his nephews to eat the spinach that they abhor. Finally Popeye resorts to the only parenting method known in the 1940s which is of course to physically abuse them until they give out. There isn't a moral to this story unless "eat spinach, don't get licked" is a moral to you. I remember watching Popeye cartoon as a kid at like five in the morning. Do little kids now even know who he is? It's time for a national reincarnating of Popeye. We need him back people..only this time not for spinach.
