A great injustice has arisen in the land.
All weekend, I heard one plaintive cry ringing throughout the land: Why wasn't
Popeye allowed to play in the
U.S. Open Golf Championship?
A fair question, friends.
The answer begins here, when Popeye finds
Wimpy on his way to play some golf:
Well, you really
shouldn't challenge Popeye's manhood like that!
Wagers result. And Popeye is so cocksure, he thinks he can beat Wimpy with
only one club!
Well, on the first tee:
Well, Popeye tees up
again, but...
That's true--the rules says you have to forfeit if you don't have any clubs.
But our man Popeye--he has an alternative!
Wimpy agrees, but perhaps he shouldn't have...
And
that's why the fraidy cats of the
PGA won't let Popeye play professional golf!
From Popeye #11 (1950), as reprinted in this week's Classic Popeye #11.

What's the name of the comic this is from?
It is from IDW's Classic Popeye #11. The series is reprinting the 1950s Dell Popeye, written & drawn by Bud Sagendorf.
