And my all-time favorite Popeye panel, heavily ripped off in the second panel of today's comic:

Old Popeye comic panel drawn by E.C. Segar, in which Popeye is running toward a large wooden door while carrying a ring of keys and saying "I got to go make some love to Olive Oyl before I gets exercuted"
