Mountebank

“That’s all I can stands, ‘cause I can’t stands no more.”
—Popeye, Popeye the Sailor animated series

One episode, “The Fistic Mystic,”
takes place in Badgag, a parody of Bagdad. 

Mountebank Olive Oil, a snake charmer. Bluto wraps around her. He is a shyster - a bully with tricks. One pop eye on him - the sailor misdirects. Mischief in Badgag - a mountebank devil, picked the wrong g-oil.
