His arms have a certain lobster-claw thing going on.
I was going to post a video from the movie, but alas Paramount had YouTube take those clips down.
Ah.. Truly a Higgs Bosun’s Mate…
No endorsement or whatnot inferred, but I gotta let you know this is making its way around the Navy and we LOVE IT. Gonna start putting the term “Hold fast” back in my lexicon. Even though the coasties claim him, yours is obviously wearing Navy dress blue pants, bell bottoms and all. So I’m claiming this one. OUTSTANDING work! Thanks for this.

That’s awesome! Keep up the good work boys and hold fast!
He was in the Coast Guard. Watch the clip.
Also during this time period the Coast Guard and the Navy had the uniform with only a few minor differences.
This awesome. Can you give us some more background on the tattoos?
boooosssss!
where can i find a high res version of this?
From one sailor man BM3 to another this is AWESOME!!!
Both the Navy and the Coast Guard can lay claim to Popeye, but so too may the Merchant Marine. He switched from Merchant Marine to Coast Guard and then to Navy during World War II.
“That Guy” got it right!
Love this drawing and would love to know the story behind all the tattoos. I know the date 1 – 17 – ’29 is the first time Popeye showed up in print; Olive is obvious as well as I Yam what I Yam. But what about the others? Do tell, please.
“E.C. Segar” on the left fore arm is the writer of the original comic. Aside form the spinach leaves, that is all I know about them.
