Popeye in Strictly From Spinach: Bluto shoots a tied-up yet unconcerned Popeye from a ship's cannon. Sucking his spinach with his pipe, he turns around, transforms into a missile and hits Bluto, sending him flying to be left hanging from the edge of the moon.

How Green Is My Spinach is Popeye's 169th cartoon, released on January 27, 1950 by Famous Studios. It's a very mean-spirited and cruel 6 minute long Popeye torture episode, as Popeye is heavily tortured throughout half of the cartoon by Bluto for no reason whatsoever other than Bluto just wanting to beat him up because he feels like it.
