About Popeye the Sailor
A bold, hand-drawn cartoon composition: the large red uppercase wordmark "POPEYE" arches across the top in chunky, slightly irregular letters. Below and overlapping the wordmark is a cream/beige circular backdrop containing a colored cartoon of the sailor character Popeye.
The character faces left in three-quarter view wearing a white sailor cap, a black sailor shirt with a red collar and yellow buttons, and a corncob pipe in his mouth. He holds an open can labeled "SPINACH" with green leaves spilling out; a white speech bubble near his head reads "I YAM WHAT I YAM!" The artwork uses thick black outlines and a retro comic illustration style.
