Happy (belated) Birthday to Popeye from the Deathstroke Files!

"Well, blow me down!" I can't believe I missed this! Another of my favorite characters is the proto-superhero, Popeye the Sailor. When I ran across the image below, I had to find a reason to post it here, so here goes. Popeye first appeared in the E.C. Segar comic strip, Thimble Theatre, on January 17, 1929. So...HAPPY (one month belated) 90th BIRTHDAY, POPEYE THE SAILOR MAN!!! 

The image comes from a t-shirt design by the artist BetMac. The use of spinach cans is just too much! The cool thing is that Popeye's bad eye is the same as Slade's so even the mask works for him.

I'm Popeye the Terminator Man
