Fellow Olive Oyl foot worshippers unite

Google says today is "Popeye" inventor E.C. Segar's birthday. Maybe those who recall vicarious childhood thrills from watching the ghost ship or girder scenes can offer anecdotes...I have none, only that I saw them as a kid, and was---intrigued.

Poor Olive Oyl... will she never get peace?

 

[Sandrock74]

She's rolling in her grave.

Wait....is she dead? Oops.

My very first sexual awareness (*blush*) was watching Olive Oyl foot tickled!

I'd have to say floored was my reaction. It's funny how things can lodge themselves in your brain, and still talk about it years later.

I was a young child when I watched Popeye cartoons. I never really thought Popeye was funny and the only reason I watched was because it was animated. I remember the tickling scenes vividly but they did nothing for me as a child and probably wouldn't do anything for me now.

The thing that got me interested in tickling was seeing Bluto tickle Olive Oyle's foot as she dangled from the bridge...I was only five years old at the time...

 

[prestidigits]

Me too, Taz! That was my start!

 

[ittickler]

Same for me taz! Pretty intense scene indeed!

I don't think E.C. Segar understood the severity of the situation that would bring many generations of children to develop a tickling fetish.

Or, maybe that was his plan all along..

..well played.

Awesome toon, CAB.

For me it was the Three Stooges episodes Hugs and Mugs, and Space Ship Sappy that got me all hot and bothered as a pre-pubescent young man. Also the Laurel and Hardy movie, "Way Out West."
