Why does he love Olive Oyl so much?


She has basically no redeeming qualities whatsoever... She is so ugly that she appears to be only vaguely human, she's not very nice, and she's so fickle! I mean, she falls for Bluto (or Brutus, w/e) at the drop of a hat, only to return to Popeye when he proves himself "worthy" of "her".

I guess Popeye's not all that good-looking either, but he's a decent man. What's up with that?

well, back then the women were supposed to be helpless and choose the guy that satisfied them the most. I can't possibly see what she would see in Bluto, but I guess this was the ideal of most girls back then-to have two "hot" (?!?!) guys competing for them...

or maybe the people just can't draw. Whatever.

Maybe Olive Oyl was a chubby chaser and that is why she liked Brutus so much?

I'd still choose her over the Sea Hag.

Olive was a freak. I see what your sayin though bout how she kept dissin Popeye. That wasnt cool. Im sure she was given it up to Popeye so he put up with her. She was his baby mama, thats why he loved that crazy bitch.Remember, use the magic twig wisely
