Drawing Challenge - Day 8 - My Favourite Animated Character

Cartoons and animation films are an integral part of my growing up like for many others, I am sure. I have watched so many of them growing up. Whether it is Tom & Jerry or Tail Spin or Dexter or Richie Rich or Mickey Mouse or Scooby Doo, I watch them all even today; Sometimes even on YouTube!

But my all time favourite has been the muscular and strong sailor who always comes running to save his stick-diagram girlfriend, Popeye!

It is only now that I realise why I loved the spinach-eating sailor Popeye so much - the romantic in me just loved watching the knight-with-a-pipe reaching out to his lady love, Olive Oil

This post becomes even more fun because I recently went for the Bangalore Comicon with friends, and I was even more convinced that cartoons are one of the best things EVER!

Before I upload my drawing for the Day 7 challenge, thank you Blessen Philip, daddy of my best friend, Cookie, for being one of the kindest, most sorted and humble person I have known in the longest time. Thank you for being so thoughtful and giving me tips for overcoming my drawing-challenges, without even my having to ask. I did try to put the tips in use, in this one. I really hope our world has more men like you, Blessen.

So now... here's my Popeye The Sailor Man... pooon pooon...
