. . . Big Tobacco is killing us by the millions, ME QUEST FOR POOPDECK PAPPY blows the whistle upon this reprehensible industry. After "Popeye" drags "Olive" and "Sweet Pea" to Goon Island in a desperate search for his Roots, his bellicose Pops orders a guerilla attack upon the peripatetic sailor man. Chagrined that his putative whelp dispatches said gorilla with a single punch, Dear Old Dad next sends "Charlie" to launch a sneak squid sortie against America's one-time favorite Super Hero. (Referring to this octopus as "The Blackguard of the Island," Pater Popeye is sure that tentacled Chuck will break whatever family ties exist between himself and the visitor to his out-of-the-way islet.) However, as a pipe-smoking dude, Popeye knows that the second-hand smoke from his devilish device will prove fatal to this multi-handed creature. Sure enough, all it takes is one puff to accomplish Charlie's demise. Perhaps the follow-up to this Popeye episode is entitled ME QUEST FOR CLEAN AIR AND A NEW PAIR OF LUNGS!
