Crossword Genius

Cartoon character shot viewing organ (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

popeye

'cartoon character' is the definition.
(comic strip character)

'shot viewing organ' is the wordplay.
'shot' becomes 'pop'.
'viewing organ' becomes 'eye' (I've seen this in another clue).
'pop'+'eye'='POPEYE'

(Other definitions for popeye that I've seen before include "Spinach-eating sailor" , "Cartoon sailor (showing amazement?)" , "mariner?" , "The Sailor Man" , "Bluto's rival" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
