My wife and I went to Santa Monica Pier for our date this week. It is a fun and lively place.

The rides there are like living works of art--so colorful and full of motion. Every step reveals something new and exciting.

As a cartoonist myself, one of the main highlights for me about the pier is that this is the site where the cartoon character Popeye was created by E.C. Segar. There is a plaque on the pier that explains how the cartoonist based the character off of a real sailor that used to hang around the pier back in the day.

This is also the spot where the famous Route 66 ends. Yet for so many people, us included, it is just the beginning.
