You are a…yam?

Well, at least he’s laid down roots & he can get us Olive Oyl at a reduced price.

Dropped him like a hot potato.

""I’m strong to the finish, ’cause I eats me Spinach."

Is there a joke here?

How did they never get Popeye and Dr. Suess together? Think about that.

Well you beta care-a teeny bit more about the color of your vegetabulation, bub…

I think, therefore I yam.

Popeye looks like he was a snowman that came to life.

But… is that all that you yam?

His resume

This cartoon is missing a piece to make the punchline. Or else I’m just missing it.

I’ll give you the same line I give to people who complain about a game’s quality while playing that game: If you don’t like it, then go do something else. There are countless comics around to partake in, and I seriously doubt that you are strapped to a chair with someone holding a gun to your head instructing you to read this particular one. Yes, you are entitled to your opinion, but voicing it somewhere it will never be seen by the creator (whether in the comments on a random comic aggregate site or in-game chat) is not only not constructive but pretty darn irritating.I am personally ambivalent about the quality of this particular comic, but, being a rational person, I see no point in commenting negatively about something I paid nothing beyond a minuscule amount of electricity to partake in.
