Spinach Power
It’s the spinach (菠菜)! The sailor opens the can and eats it. Then things change very quickly!
He grows very tall and strong. His muscles (肌肉) come out. No one can beat him now. This is Popeye the sailor. Now the cartoons of the sailor and his spinach are on show in the Museum of Television and Radio in New York. It’s for Popeye’s seventy?fifth birthday.
“There are few characters (角色) that are so old and still loved by people,” said Barry Monush, from the show. Popeye loves a very thin and tall girl, Olive Oyl. She often gets into trouble. But Popeye is the one to save her!
Most kids have watched this cartoon on TV. Mum says spinach is good, but kids only begin to like it because of the sailor! Who can forget his face with its large chin (下巴) and almost closed right eye? Popeye always wins. He’s simple, but he knows how to stop the strong Bluto’s bad plans. In 1929, Popeye was first in the comic strip (连环画) “Thimble Theatre” (《顶针剧院》) by E.C. Segar in the US. He only had a small part. But two years later he had his own comic strip. Americans ate 33 percent more spinach in the 1930s! “He shows anybody can be great,” said Wang Di, 14, from Beijing. “He gets angry, but I still love him and his spinach.”
