I yam what I yam
Popeye has been around since the late 20’s. I swear the soundtrack on some of those old animated cartoons are just 15 minutes of solid mumbling. Here are three appearances of Popeye on a skateboard, from present day back to 1979.
Here’s an official King Syndicates licensed t-shirt that has a copyright of 1979.
A coloring page from Popeye Fresh Food, a company that sells… spinach and lettuce. No big surprise there, and not to be confused with Popeyes Chicken. The pdf download is unprotected, so you can grab some vector art of Popeye shredding.
About a year ago Freshness showed these Thrasher branded Popeye t-shirts that were being sold in a Japanese shop called Ollie. They may have been less than licensed though, and are no longer visible on the site.
