Well, dang!

A lot of the old Popeye hasn't aged too well for me, often being on the repetitive and dull side, but this sequence is hilarious, sharp, and has aged really well IMO. So... we're looking at a date of... Dec 19th, 1937, is it?

I did some searching and I'm seeing 1937 and 1938, so yeah, that's probably about right.

"Disgustipated" was coined by E.C. Segar in his syndicated comic strip Popeye. Earliest known use was 1938.

I only knew it as a Tool song. Neat.
