It doesn't really matter. None of these versions are the real/original/my personal favorite vision of the characters.
I mean I'm a fan of the PC Popeye but I really just see the small window that Bud Sagendorf did the stories as the REAL Popeye despite Segar being the creator.

Great Scott! I can't believe they're rebooting Popeye yet again!

I wonder why they'd keep him with his 60's look if he's always dealing with modern issues like rape and incest?

Apologies for straying from the topic, but I also hear that DC is relaunching UNDERDOG with the original, male UD.
I still vividly remember COIE #7, when he died blocking the Anti-Monitor's blast that was meant for Kara, and Sweet Polly Purebred's decision in issue 12 to start taking his energy pills to carry on for him.
If your klordny lasts longer than 4 hours, seek medical attention.

Hey, Mods. Shouldn't this thread be merged with the thread about spinach? Or vice versa? 
Hey, Kids! My "Cranky and Kitschy" collage art is now viewable on DeviantArt! Drop by and tell me that I sent you. *updated often!*

Could we have a modernized look for Olive... Bigger boobs on the cover of a #1 do make for bigger sales.

Okay, but if Olive gets a boob window, I'll never buy a Popeye comic again!
In other news, I understand Eugene the Magical Jeep has, thanks to a lawsuit with Chrysler, been retconned into Eugene the Magical Yugo.
The only character in all of literature who has been described as "badnass" while using the phrase "vile miscreant."

I've some really exciting news. To cash in on the video game and manga craze they've modernized the whole concept.
Popeye is now a plumber.
Olive Oyl is a Princess of the Spinach Kingdom
Bluto is a turtle/godzilla like thing that kidnaps Olive.
Eugene is a magical dinosaur that Popeye rides.
Popeye and his brother jump around the Spinach Kingdom collecting coins and cans of spinach hidden in bricks on their way to rescue Princess Olive.
