What mystical power enables this woman of little endowment to lure men into her evil trap?
Does she have the ultimate power of attraction?
Is it a secret potion?
Or does she simply obscure the vision of the object of her desire?
I'm watching closely so that I may discover her secrets.

What Superpower Does This Woman Possess?

It's gotta be that hypnotic, dulcet voice. Gotta be.
are there other women in the world of popeye?
I think there is limited choice for 'getting some.'
are there other women in the world of popeye?
That's a good question. I don't remember any specific female characters other than Olive Oyl. What I do remember is a cartoon that showed Olive in a beauty contest. All the other contestants came out-- lovely women with curvaceous figures-- and then Olive Oyl. Popeye and Bluto never gave the other contestants a glance, but they're eyes would pop out over Olive Oyl. (hence the name Popeye??)
I never got it. She has a secret power I tell you!
Olive Oyl must be the ultimate temptress!
SQT -- I left an overlong response to your comment at CMHL.
As for Olive Oyl, I can't remember specifics, because I've successfully suppressed most of my recollections of Popeye, but I thought Olive had regular occasion to exhibit her jealousy....
I found this the other day. It's apparently written in Popeye's own hand:
"I sees her. She's the mostest beeyoutiful womans I've ever known. More beeyoutiful than my dear gray haired mudder. How can I win her? Should I walk rights up and say: 'Avast, how's about jumping wid me into the barrel and doin' it hurrican style? Arrrrr...'
Or a direct approach: 'I like the cut of your jib, baby.'
"My biggest concern is Brutus. He's a jealous man. If he finds out I've been tryin' to make time wid her, he'll never forgive me."
" doin' it hurricane style...."
Lol, that's the best.
Ha! This made me laugh out loud! I've always wondered. Popeye and Brutus obviously aren't breast men.
I answered your tag over at studio-twenty-three. ;)
Regarding 'other women in the world of Popeye' - there was an almost unbearably rubbish spinoff cartoon during the 80s called "Olive Oyl's Army" (no, really) where her best friend was a Goon named Alice (I think - I'm mostly channeling this info from my 8 year old self in the past) and her commanding officer was a tiny red-haired woman named (desperate channelling) Sergeant Blast (or something)...
popeye and brutus are blind
