Mr. Blog's Tepid Ride

November 5, 2010

He is retired military yet still wears the uniform.
He has a short conservative haircut.
He eats his vegetables.
He resists change.
He is a one-woman man.
He stands up for traditional values.
He takes care of his father.
Even his tattoo is a sailor’s classic, an anchor.

The only thing that would make Popeye even more an establishment figure is if he beat up a hippie.

Ladies and Gentlemen, from 1959, here is Popeye beating up a hippie.
