. . . confesses Olive after beaching her raft on Popeye and Bluto's Bachelor Island less than halfway through SHAPE AHOY. Soon after this pipe-cleaner-creature's remark, the former sailor tries to slake her hunger with a cornucopia of fruit. Mangoes, melons, pineapples, peaches, pears and grapes follow each other in quick succession, topped off by a literal branch of full-sized ripe bananas. Despite being delivered into her open maw with firehouse velocity, Olive consumes the whole mess without flinching (or expanding her apparent four-inch waist by the barest smidgen). Popeye's once and future rival brute than tops off this rail-thin dame with a bucket of coconut milk. Some big-eating thin guys are said to have a "hollow leg." Olive appears to have a hollow head.
