4. Who were Peepeye, Poopeye, Pipeye and Pupeye?
From Quiz The Joy of Knowledge 8
Answer:
Nephews of Popeye
Peepeye, Poopeye, Pipeye and Pupeye were all nephews of Popeye. It was very difficult to tell them apart so it was assumed they were quadruplets.
Elzie Crisler Segar's comic strip began in 1919. Olive Oyl had a boyfriend called Ham Gravy, who along with Castor Oyl, Olive's brother, appeared in the original cast. Popeye's debut was on January 1929 when he was hired, by Olive, to sail her ship. She required a discourteous, uncivil, unmannerly sailor and Popeye was just her man. He was to sail Olive and her friends to Dice Island, where they hoped to cheat at a casino. Popeye was dropped from the comic strip as his services were no longer required. Popeye's fans demanded his return and he became a national hit. In 1932, hamburger-munching Wimpy and Popeye's arch-enemy, Bluto, were added to the cast.
A six foot, bronze, Popeye statue was located near the Chester Bridge, at the Segar Memorial Park, in 1977, as Elzie Crisler Segar was born in Chester, Illinois on 8 December, 1894. Alas she died at Santa Monica, California, on 13 October, 1938.
