Popeye (without spinach) possible upgrade?

I have two problems (you can ignore them though):

1. The size of the Earth seems down graded;

2. With calculated speed it would be impossible to travel across the globe.

Nah, I wouldn't think so. Seems like an animation trick to make the slapstick funnier, if Bluto wasn't big enough to be seen, then their would be no joke. If I tried calculating the Earths size from Bluto's size, I'd probably get a hilariously low figure. Not really what you meant on your second point though.

Yeah... But the time is hardly useful here for calculation as well. By the same reasons.

At such speed he would leave Earth gravitational field with ease.
 
@Yamato

the 2nd point really isn't a point because their have been simaler feats in fiction at simaler speeds

Popeye is a big *Insert what ever phrase you want here* to science I mean

Popeye gave the sun a black eye

and ALAS Sadly this calc can't be used anyway's if you watch the episode all the way through Popeye does indeed eat spinach https://youtu.be/K04jSEfKhms?t=213 See here
 
Did he? I didn't notice that in the short. I'll rewatch to make sure.
 
Well, that settles the matter then, I suppose.
