Olive Oyl
Olive Oyl is a fictional character from the comic strip and cartoon series *Popeye*, recognizable by her tall, impossibly thin frame, black hair in a bun, and oversized feet.
She serves as Popeye's perpetually endangered love interest, often caught between him and his rival Bluto.
The name puns on olive oil, the cooking ingredient.
