Carl Rose, actually..I've had that in "One Dozen Roses" for decades. E. B. 
hite came up with the caption.
Mother: "It's broccoli, dear."
ittle Girl: "I say it's spinach, and I say the hell with it."

Thurber redrew another famous cartoon that had originally been too bloody in 
ose's version (fencer decapitating his opponent and shouting "Touche!")

 Thanks for the post,  Michael...I hadn't played that record in a long time
 and had never stopped to think about the pre-Popeye connection to spinach?
 What a powerful band...that lead trumpet is amazing on these late Warings.

 Any earlier use of the word "Hell" on a pop tune record?

 On the 1928 All Star Orch of "Oh,  Baby!"  our friend Scrappy coyly sings
 "Wouldn't it be 'H' " instead of Hell.
