Popeye runs a pizza restaurant. Wimpy wants to pay him Tuesday for some hamburger pizzas, but Popeye says "No money, no pizzas! Cash on the line!"

Popeye makes a pizza making machine, and asks Brutus what kind of pizzas he wants. Brutus wants a tamale pizza, but Popeye says he never serves tamale pizzas.
