>On 3 December 1933, Popeye met an old sea buddy, Bill Barnacle - nicknamed "Salty", and on 10 December they both soon discovered an intriguing creature - a tall, heavily-built, bald humanoid with dotted eyes, a large nose (comparable with a proboscis monkey), no visible mouth and hairy arms and legs. Whenever it talks, it's just word balloons filled with indecipherable scribbles. Originally this creature worked as a servant-guard for The Sea Hag. It wasn't until 14 January 1934 that readers learned its name and realized it was female: Alice the Goon. Alice's haunting look and indeterminable gender confused, disturbed and frightened some young readers. After Segar received concerned letters from parents, Alice eventually became an ally of Popeye. She was revealed to have a younger daughter, and moved in with Popeye and Olive to babysit Swee'pea.
it's a lot stranger than I expected
