Wow, seriously?

History lesson time:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bluto

After the theatrical Popeye cartoon series ceased production in 1957,
Bluto's name was changed to Brutus because it was incorrectly believed
that Paramount Pictures, distributors of the Fleischer Studios (later
Famous Studios) cartoons, owned the rights to the name "Bluto". King
Features actually owned the name, as Bluto had been originally created
for the comic strip. Due to a lack of thorough research, they failed to
realize this and reinvented him as Brutus to avoid supposed copyright
problems

He's been riding the trash talk train so long that it has become second
nature.

What's unnecessary is the constant critiquing and trashing of any and
all things culinary that are not in complete coherence with his little
world.

I wonder how he was as a parent...

Uh huh.
