Popeye and Olive befriend a little alien who's landed his spaceship in Olive's back yard. Bluto arrives on the scene and tries to capture the little spaceman so that he can take him on talk shows and become rich and famous as his agent.

what does he look like?
I love this cartoon because even though Popeye was and still is unique in the cartoon world, this episode is unique in the Popeye series and it makes me feel special to have remembered him and actually have a use for this information. I would like to know where to find an image of the little spaceman. And doesn't he have a nickname or something. He seems perfect to describe something to a friend, but the name is not very descriptive.
Thanks
David
