Friday Night Fights--Popeye The Sailor Robot Style??

Tonight's Friday Night Fights proves that there's only one way to tell the real Popeye from an insidious fake!!

Popeye has a great way to spend his vacation:

Ah, but the Sea Hag has a counter-measure ready to roll:



Whoa--a Popeye robot!!

She's going to have him infiltrate Popeye's crew and cause so much chaos and confusion that they'll never find her.

And I have to say...he's a pretty convincing robot:

Well, after many, many comedic bits, Popeye finally finds out that his mission is being thwarted by--himself?





Well, is obvious that no Vulcan-like logic is going to resolve this. Fortunately, Wimpy has the solution:






CLANK!

Spacebooger would like to know if Sea Hag has any other LMDs available...

Now is the time for you to go and vote for my fight. Why?? Because you've got the Popeye theme song stuck in your head--and only a vote for me will cure that! So go vote!
