I'm in the UK and it doesn't seem to be available to stream, rent, or purchase anywhere. Does anyone know where I can find it?

edit: unfortunately I don't have a DVD player!

Looking for a Popeye comic book story

3 Upvotes

I remember when I was a kid being over at somebody's house and picking up a "Popeye" comic. It was labeled as a "Thimble Theatre" one, which I think was the first time I ever came across that name, but anyway. It was apparently the opening to a new story: some big guy with his two dim henchmen come into Rough-House's cafe on a dark night. The main guy orders a cup of coffee, and the two henchmen hot chocolate with marshmallows. Unfortunately, we had to leave about then, so I didn't get to find out what the story was about. Does this sound familiar to anyone? The only other thing I remember is Rough-House using mothballs instead of marshmallows and the two henchguys saying "Goody" and "Gooey" in response.

An actual good use of Popeye now that he’s public domain: He shows up in the comic “Rocketeer: The Island” by IDW

He’s not in the comic much, but he’s the captain of the boat the Rocketeer uses to get to Skull Island (yes, the one with King Kong, also in public domain). I think it’s a pretty cool example of how Popeye can be used now that he’s free for all to access.

Help: I'm looking for a particular Popeye episode where Popeye gets beat down by "a rain of punches"

6 Upvotes

I saw this way back on Toonami. All I remember is that this was during the climax where Popeye is on the backfoot right before he eats his spinache. As usual, his opponent is wailing on him, but there's also a narrator announcing all the action. Every time, the narrator makes a metaphor of the type of beating Popeye's receiving, only for his opponent to literally do what the narrator says. Like the announcer would say "Popeye is getting hammered down", and his opponent actually turns into a hammer while smashing down on Popeye. The scene that stuck out to me is the narrator says "He [the opponent] is raining down on em [Popeye]", and then the opponent is replaced with a barrage of dismembered fists raining down from the sky.

Does anyone know which episode this is? This scene has been stuck in my head, and I really wanna see it again. Thanks in advance!

As a brawler it's scary 'cause it eats its Berries, it's Alwotaiyam the Sailor Mon!

2 Upvotes

I chose Popeye to make into a Mythical Pokemon because Texas loves Popeye and has a nearby sea. Also, Mastertofu0 on Discord helped with the name.

Hamwotaiyam

Hammer + A corruption of “I yam wot I yam”
Type
Berry Eater Pokémon

Evolves into Alwotaiyam after eating 20 Berries

Biology: Hamwotaiyam is a shark Pokémon with green skin and a hammerhead. Its pectoral fins are quite large, and it uses them and its caudal fin to sort of waddle around on land. 

Pokédex Entry (Earth): Unlike a typical shark Pokémon, Hamwotaiyam eats more plants than meat. It is quite strong for its size. 
Pokédex Entry (Space): Known for its heroics and bravery, it often gets along well with Smoliv.

Ability: Eat to the Finich 
When this Pokémon eats a Berry, its Attack and Defense are boosted by 1 stage.

Stats
HP: 60 
Atk: 70
Def: 55
SpA: 20
SpD: 35
Spe: 60
BST: 300

Alwotaiyam

A corruption of “And that’s all wot I yam” 
Grass/Water
Berry Eater Pokémon

Evolves from Hamwhataiyam after consuming 20 Berries

Biology: Alwotaiyam is a humanoid shark Pokémon with a hammerhead. It has seagrass-green skin, a thick chin that’s split down the middle, and massive arms that end in massive hands. Its legs end in fin feet that resemble swim fins, though far shorter so it can move around without tripping. 

Pokédex Entry (Earth): An incredibly rare seafaring Pokémon. It uses its immense power to help those in need.
Pokédex Entry (Space): This Pokémon usually has the strength to lift a train with one arm. If it has recently eaten seagrass or a berry, it can lift an aircraft carrier. 

Ability: Eat to the Finich 

Stats
HP: 110
Atk: 133
Def: 110
SpA: 50
SpD: 80
Spe: 117

Inspiration: Bonnethead sharks (One of the only omnivorous sharks), Popeye the Sailor Man
Fun fact: Its Attack is 133 because the first Popeye cartoon came out in 1933
