I was just musing this as mooched around Tesco and I thought when have I ever seen spinach in a can? Then I googled it. You can indeed get Spinach in a can. Unsure if it can be consumed through a pipe, or you can open it by squeezing it.....but popeye would indeed survive were he to befriend a person with a can opener.
As a cartoon character who never ages, he will at some point in the future be banned from buying pipe tobacco.....
Tin Tin was Belgian? They can't catch a break can they, the Belgians - apart from Eddy Merckx - the next most famous Belgian I've managed to misidentify his country of origin, I've going to call this misgeography. Future generations will thank me for this term.
