People liked to read about Him getting out of trouble spots by his luck and His strength. Pop-eye was in the navy so I guess that is why he is always drawed hanging out on the docks.

I don't know if you care about how much it costs to buy gas. But to a teenager it is just way to much money. It seem's like the price of gas goe's up every day to me. I mean, more than 2$ for a gallon is just like totally unfare. I worked hard for the gas money I have and I have to borrow more just for the rest of the week sometimes. Well, I think the government should give gas coupons to poor people just like how they do for medical coupons if you are too poor to go the doctor. I think this is the #1 problem the government should fix I mean what else are they doing anyways.
