Now discontinued cartoon from the forties and fifties about an oddly proportioned american sailor who constantly got into fights, where he was the underdog. He would, at a pivotal point, consume spinach, and become immediatley brawnier as a result. Immensely popular, and famed for his arch-enemy bluto, girlfriend Olive Oil, and his ridiculously large biceps. He also had one squinted eye, one that protruded, a speech impediment, a pipe, and incoherant ramblings that he would use to amuse himself. The cartoon was a vector to get kids eating more greens so the could grow up to be just like him.
