Rick Baker is known for his incredible skills as a special effects make-up artist. Here, however, is a look at some of his artwork. The artist was able to age the popular cartoon of Popeye the Sailor Man, in a somewhat eerie and creepy way.
In all seriousness though, this is probably what Popeye would look like in real-life as a sailor who spent too much time under the sun. I wonder what his girl Olive Oil would look like?
