, , , Popeye episodes. It has a little bit of everything. Squid. Sharks. Giant Clams. Whales, Pelicans. Goons. You name it, it's in here somewhere. Questions are answered without even being asked. For instance, where did Popeye get his pipe? From Goon Island. Where did Popeye get his theme song? Also from Goon Island. And where did Popeye develop his taste for spinach? You guessed it--Goon Island! Doubtless this picture has enticed many young lads--and, more recently, lasses--into the sport of ice hockey. After all, few impressionable youth will be able to watch POPEYE THE UGLY DUCKLING without yearning to become a goon themselves.

. . . "Popeye" literally owes his life to the Goons. Dropped as the perennial "Ugliest Toddler" contest winner onto Goon Island by a grossed-out pelican, Popeye thus becomes first a prince, then king in the Land of the Beauty-Blind. Soon fluent in Goon, Popeye is transformed by the Goonish all-spinach diet from a 125-ounce weakling into a 125-pound weakling (unless, that is, he's had a recent spinach "fix"). These cultured goons also provide Popeye with his theme song, not to mention a musical pipe. Returning to Civilization, Popeye soon begins punching out stupid people. Miss the answer on a math problem? KA-POW! Forget the name of our 13th President? WHAM-O!! Fail to correctly spell phlegm? KEY-RACK!!! In the days prior to the advent of the for-profit profiteering Charter Learning Shacks of U.S. Miseducation Secretary B. "Amway Calling" D. (which have proliferated like so many acne scars across the face of our once fair land), the Goon Island Academy must have seemed like a Pachyderm Party Model School.
