Muscle Lobster Spinach Comic

A vintage single-panel comic illustration in a mid-century newspaper-cartoon style, showing an anthropomorphic red lobster standing on a wooden dock by the sea and posing like a bodybuilder. The lobster is the only character and fills most of the frame, facing slightly left with an angry, proud expression, narrowed eyes, long curved antennae, whisker-like mouth feelers, huge exaggerated claws, an enormous hyper-muscular torso, oversized biceps, thick chest, and a sharply defined six-pack and obliques. One claw is raised in a flexing pose near a large speech bubble. The speech bubble in the upper left contains exactly this hand-lettered text in bold black comic lettering: “I YAM WHAT I YAM! and I YAM RIPPED!” with “RIPPED!” emphasized larger and underlined. At the lobster’s feet, slightly left of center, place 1 opened can labeled “SPINACH” with green spinach visible inside and the lid peeled back. The dock includes 1 wooden mooring post wrapped with rope on the far left. In the background, show calm blue water, a bright blue sky, and 4 fluffy white clouds spread across the top area. On the far right background across the water, include 1 small cannery or factory building on pilings with a sign reading “SPINACH” and 2 smokestacks, one releasing a puff of gray smoke. Render it with flat comic colors, bold black outlines, slightly aged paper texture, light ink imperfections, and a humorous parody tone reminiscent of 1930s–1950s Popeye-era animation art.
