Artist's Comments

Even though I myself am not a vegetarian, I just got a kick outta doin' this one.

Three weeks ago, I was chatting with :iconmagzwlbr:, and she was talking about old school (banned) cartoons from the WWII era she was watching on YouTube. I started watching as well, and one of the cartoons featured one of my fav classic characters, Popeye, delivering a boat load of spinach to Britain.

As soon as I heard the trumpet theme to when Popeye opens his can of spinach, this popped into my head. And as someone who draws BB frequently, I think it's good every once and a while to pay homage to his vegetarian roots in the show.

I tried to use the thicker outline used in most of Popeye's cartoons, and used the black outfit instead of the white sailor suit just on a whim. The only really signifigant detail I didn't include was the massive forearms, which I know are key details to Popeye's appearence, but again, just wanted to try something different to balance between BB and Popeye.

92.7% of people on DA put arbitrary percentages about stuff here. If you are one of the 7.3% of people who wonder where the heck they are referencing their statistics from... I don't blame you.
