The Born Loser by Art and Chip Sansom for January 31, 2019

Yes Gladys, but Popeye when eating spinach increases his muscles and when you eat chocolate you increase your belly.

Compromise, eat fried chicken.

January 31st is National Hot Chocolate Day, so it’s a reasonable alternative.

I would rather eat a sweet potato, because ‘I yam what I yam’. Ag-ug-ug-ug-ug…(A comment with it’s own laugh track)

Well, blow me down!

Actually, Popeye is 100 years old. Creator: E. C. SegarLaunch date: December 19, 1919End date: July 30, 1994

Why didn’t the Pope go to Mt.Olive?Popeye would beat the heck out of him ;)

♪♫ She’s Gladys the chocolate gal, she’s Gladys the chocolate gal.

She’s plump ’cause of chocolate, yes, way too much nugat,

she’s Gladys the chocolate gal… ♪♫

I like her logic.

Belly? Butt yes.

Like the nephews would say: Now that… was a… load of… spinach!

Popeye didn’t start eating spinach until the cartoons in the 1930s. He originally got his strength in the comic strip from rubbing the head of Bernice, the Whiffle Hen. (Apparently studio execs felt the nutritional value of spinach made sense as the source of his strength. Several years later a recheck of the research revealed a misplaced decimal point in the calculations and spinach only had one-tenth of the iron and other minerals and vitamins it was originally announced to have.)

Chocolate has almost magical powers. With just a Hersey bar you could get Gladys out of the chair and to the laundry room. Making her do the laundry would involve a bag of M&M’s.
