Take THAT, Bluto haters!!!

[Bossy Monkey]

also Mobutu, Sununu, though I'm all in favor of hating them, and for that matter, Bluto, too. Fun copycat, though.

5. Whoa. Wait a second. Take a look at this guy again:

Now take a look at Popeye:



Which one is juicing?

6. Bluto is just a big guy...

...but OK--*look* at Popeye...a skinny geek with forearms like that...? And someone who's known to ingest a magic ingredient--ie, his so-called "spinach"--to gain his ill-gotten victories...? I mean--given their weight difference, how *else* can he beat Bluto?

8. Popeye is like Tom Cruise with no hair.

9. Brutus

does not like him at all. Thinks he's just a lame copycat.

12. They changed the name to Brutus...

because Disney was upset they were getting Bluto confused with Pluto.

At least according to the urban myth.

14. amazing the trivia included in Wiki

they say it was copyright issues with no reference to Disney. If Bluto gets confused with Pluto that would be tough beans since Popeye pre-dates Mickey.
