The Spinach Eater

You are a sailor. One eye is gone from an unexplained incident. You love the sea, your girlfriend Olive Oyl and smoking your corn cob pipe. A man of honor and self-reliance, you are. You’ll fight with your fists and gain superpower strength from a can or two of spinach. You are ocean salty with an unnerving laugh and odd speaking cadence. One of your friends is a colossal mooch named Wimpy who borrows money to fuel his hamburger addiction. You often find yourself fighting Bluto (a.k.a. Brutus) who tries to steal your girl. He’s one cruel motherfucker.

You were born almost a hundred years ago and happen to be world famous. Famed auteur Robert Altman made a movie of your life. It was a live action musical with comedian Robin Williams playing the title role. Maybe your story will be told again. You’re an icon and those never truly go away.
