The Love Talk Of Popeye!!
Olive is missing, and Popeye is a bit frantic. Wimpy suggests that she has been kidnapped, and Popeye laughs:
Don't be too harsh on The Sailor Man--he's not just talking behind her back. That's how he talk to her face!!
Popeye, you suave bastard...

Why, it's just Shakespeare's sonnet 130:
My mistress' eyes are nothing like the sun;
Coral is far more red than her lips' red;
If snow be white, why then her breasts are dun;
If hairs be wires, black wires grow on her head.
I have seen roses damasked, red and white,
But no such roses see I in her cheeks;
And in some perfumes is there more delight
Than in the breath that from my mistress reeks.
I love to hear her speak, yet well I know
That music hath a far more pleasing sound;
I grant I never saw a goddess go;
My mistress, when she walks, treads on the ground.
And yet, by heaven, I think my love as rare
As any she belied with false compare.
Hahaha...too awesome :D
Popeye obvious thinks that "negging" is the proper way to get a woman...
He'd better watch out, then -- some cartoon characters are better at it than him:
