Rita looks like Olive Oyle in this version

That`s probably the idea

So where’s the burgers?

So who is it that looks like Popeye?

Jay?

At 1st glance thought I was looking at a Popeye coming strip featuring Olive Oyl and Wimpy.

Olive Oyl was my first thought as well. But Rita dresses much better.

With a touch of W.C. Fields

I actually thought it was Olive Oyle and Wimpy until I got the enlarged version and could see and read the dialogue. Love the Dictaphone……….I used to transcribe the old sleeve type back in the 60’s……..also used a plug type switchboard ah…….some good memories some not so good. lol

Roy Hobbs? Shades of The Natural?

Roy would do well as Wimpy. “I would gladly pay you Tuesday for a hamburger today.”

Roy’s personality seems to be intact from this early version to what it is today. Great line, Roy.

Did we just find Olive Oyl’s long lost sister?

I recently started a new job within the post office, answering the phone to help people who call 1-866-ASK-USPS. Lately, I’ve frequently been remembering a saying that made the rounds of the business community during the 1960s:

To err is human. To REALLY screw up, you a computer!

I find myself waiting for Popeye and Bluto to appear in the next strip.

That’s nothing. Last week, Ed and Sal looked just slightly like Mutt and Jeff.
