Popeye and Olive Oyl


Popeye
Eats spinach and feels spry
Gains superhuman strength
Keeps Bluto at arm’s length

Olive Oyl
Is Popeye’s foil
Often kidnapped by Bluto
Whom Popeye then punches to Pluto.

Congrats on well deserved win. I actually did not use the word spry at first. I had used Popeye the Sailor man as my first line and was told it was too much (to pare it down to Popeye, and spry is pretty much all I was left with, for the point I was trying to make.) Originally I said how he squeezed spinach from a can!!
