Nice! Never seen that one before.
Wimpy’s stack of burgers has got me hungry.
I think they used to burnish cue shafts with ham bones so Wimpy isn't far off from reality.
I would gladly pay you Tuesday for a hamburger today.
Popeye, Brutus, Wimpy and Olive are easy... is that Pappy sitting by the window? Is he Popeye's Pappy?
Anybody notice the spinach can for a pocket? The ship's wheel for a chandelier? The porthole for Olive's picture frame? What else am I missing?

The fish net for a walk hanging and the parrot in the bird cage and Wimpy is sitting on a stool that appears to be mounted to the floor .
Those are some stout hamburger buns since they're not drooping or anything ha ha !

Action at Pappys Pool Hall. Looks like Popeyes using a house cue. Knowing Brutus, Popeye may need that can of spinach.
Popeye even has a toy sponsor

There was a real "Popeye": Frank “Rocky” Fiegel
So who exactly is Popeye based after? Well, the man who Elzie Segar knew in Illinois was named Frank “Rocky” Fiegel. He was known as a “local” legend. He was strong and demonstrated it in the many fights he was in. Like his the character, “Rocky” smoked a pipe and was toothless, Segar took a few other liberties. Fiegel was more of a drinker than a spinach eater, and he was a bartender, not a sailer.
