Alice the Goon is a character in E. C. Segar's comic strip Thimble Theatre and in the Popeye cartoon series derived from it. She is a Goon, a tribe of strange humanoids that live on Goon Island and she serves as the leader of her people. Because Goons are indistinguishable from each other, most who meet Alice for the first time are unable to tell that she is a female Goon, which was a source of much calamity for Popeye when he first met her as a foe. Since their first encounter, Alice has become one of Popeye's closest friends and allies.
