If Google’s home page could talk it would say today “I’m Popeye the Sailor Man.”

Since Google’s home page voice hasn’t yet been enabled – we are still in the silent search days – I will be Google’s Voice and say it for you and for them – I’m Popeye the Sailor Man.

Popeye Google Doodle

Google is celebrating the 115th anniversary of E.C. Segar’s birthday by featuring his Popeye creation on their homepage.

Elzie Crisler Segar’s Popeye first appeared in his newspaper comic strip Thimble Theatre on January 17, 1929.

Through his cartoon strip Popeye inadvertently became the most famous advocate and voice for eating spinach.
