Popeye is SO a Capricorn!
He made his entry into a pre-existing (for ten years) cartoon on January 17 1929, playing a bit part. But – tres Capricorn- he was so successful that he became the star & driving force of the whole thing. Consider the guys’ Capricorn indicators: Muscular, born in a typhoon (Capricorns often have odd birth stories) devotion to proper eating (spinach, albeit usually canned but that may be his generation) and exercise (lifts weights) hard-working, can be grim-looking in repose, loyal to his wife even though she often unaffectionate to him, versatile, difficult upbringing & relationship with father especially troubled, resourceful and never gives up.

The spinach thing makes sense. I’ve heard it is a food attributed to the goats!
-
LOL when I was a child there was a goat someone used to “mow” the lawn outside their house in the leafy hamlet my father lived in – the goat got free one day and raided the laundry hanging in neighbouring yards and the only thing he ate was women’s underwear. Your post immediately summoned images of popeye doing same with vigor.
-
Popeye is a sailor after all. I expect nothing less from a sea-faring barnacle like him! ROFL!
I grew up near farms and let me tell you those goats get randy really young. Already trying to hump the family dog and cat while their horns are still little buds…
-
O sweet jebus I’m glad I was spared THAT! I saw geese mating violently as a child and that was horrific. Inter species shenanigans are the limit!!!

One of my favourite people in this world is a capricorn & the similarities to popeye are too funny!
He is v muscular works out at the gym daily lifting weights, totally weird birth story, eats properly & is currently on the candida diet (although won’t admit it he secretly eats wheat & chocolate). lol
-
Popeye was married???!!
-
I think Olive Oyl & Popeye were married, if not ‘official’ they have at least been together for 60 something years.
-
if Popeye and Olive Oil were married then she was a bit of a floozy with all that attention she was giving to Brutus
hold on – wasn’t there a baby???
-
THERE WAS A BABy!?!?!??!?!
-
yes there was a baby… was her name Sweet Pea?
-
SWEET PEA!!!!
Yeah. And there’s an ancient film out there with Robin Williams as Popeye and Shelly Duvall as Olive Oyl. Directed by Robert Altman, no less…

This Cap lifts weights daily, ate spinach just last night (and shoved down child’s throat … erm I mean encouraged her to enjoy veges) and my mum went into labour early with me when a cow kicked her …
-
my 2.5 year old was born on the same date as popeye (17 Jan) but was a week overdue and then shat herself in utero and had to come out through an emergency caesarian – which you’d think would make her a feablie kid (maybe?) but that’s the furtherest thing from the reality – she’s a powerhouse of muscular and intellectual energy (:
-
This Cap sent her entire family *mother, father and sister* to hospital with her arrival, a month early, because I’m terribly claustrophobic and couldn’t stay there a moment longer…and I’m sure I didn’t want to be an Aqua.
-
My Cappy Moon would totally go sailing with Pop…Good groundedness there on the high seas and plenty of greens on our ’round the world tour!
As a kid, watched him all the time..
“I’m Popeye the Sailor Man…..toot-toot!”
-
There was a joke eons ago about Popeye:
Which part of Popeye never gets rusty?
The part he keeps in Olive Oyl.Olive Oyl was his wife:)
Funny Chesh, i was also a month early, & feet first, woulda been a Cap but it came in as rising sign
undeterred.
Could explain my reaction to low ceilings……space need space.-
Pegs, being on the land, Mum and Dad took hols and went to my Gran’s beach house at the end of summer and they knocked the frog off the log three times. My sister and I were both a month early but brother made it to Aqua. My mother was known to say ‘thank god i didn’t have 3 February babies’ because bro was/is as stubborn as a Missouri Mule. Mum was Leo so they often locked horns.

I LOVE spinach! Always have. When I was a kid, I’d have spinach eating contests with my grandparent’s friends. Would shovel huge forkfuls in! I’m sure they were completely amused by me. And I always won, natch.
Yeah, I’m a Cap.
-
yep, I love spinach, especially creamed with parmesan cheese.
-
-
Hmmm…
… the 2 Cap men I know don’t exercise (if they can help it) and would only eat spinach if it was on a pizza. And covered in meat.
Unless you count playing computer games as exercise…
… actually one friend was worried his arse was getting fat (which is was) so he bought an exercise bike… removed the handle bars and replaced it with a keyboard, so he could game and ride his bike at the same time.
This lasted till he got chaffing.
The butchered bike is still in the corner of his room. His maintains his arse is more comfortable this way…
… the other plays netball once a week… by playing netball I mean being goal keeper and therefore standing under the goal post, smoking fags for about an hour…
He was thinking about joing the roller derby though. I would pay good money to see that.
