Olive Oyl is a cartoon character created by E. C. Segar in 1919 for his comic strip Thimble Theatre. [6] The strip was later renamed Popeye after the sailor character that became the most popular member of the cast; however, Olive Oyl was a main character for a decade before Popeye's 1929 appearance.
In Baby Wants Spinach (1950) Olive Oyl asks Popeye to watch her “cousin Swee’Pea.” (In the King Features cartoons of the early 1960s, it is implied that Swee'Pea is Popeye's nephew). From 1936–1938 Mae Questel provided the voice for Swee'Pea which was then taken over by voice actress Margie Hines from 1938 to 1943.
In the context of the comic strip, Eugene the Jeep was a gift to Popeye's girlfriend Olive Oyl from her Uncle Ben who found Eugene in Africa. The Jeep is a yellow creature about the size of a dog who walks on his hind legs. He has a bear-like head and ears but a large nose, long tail, and protruding belly. The Jeep's diet consists only of orchids.
Popeye's exploits are also enhanced by a few recurring plot elements.

Some cartoons portray Popeye and Bluto as Navy buddies, although in these episodes Bluto usually turns on Popeye when an object of interest (usually Olive) is put between them.
Olive notices Popeye, patiently sitting at a table. Olive dances to Popeye. Popeye gives Olive her "bouquet" (which consists of only one flower) and Olive dances away with a leap. Olive's feet gets stuck into two spittoons. While Olive struggles to get out of the spittoons, Popeye is laughing. Olive, determined to get even, performs a fancy dance.
The Twitter user captioned the photo, "N***** in jail ate the Popeyes chicken sandwich before me IM SICK." A subsequent photo shows a close up of the sandwich with the words "Thanks bae."
Now married, Popeye and his longtime girlfriend-turned-wife Olive Oyl have a son named Popeye Jr. (or simply "Junior"), [2] who has inherited Popeye's ability to gain superhuman strength from eating spinach; much to his father's disappointment, however, Junior hates the taste of spinach (instead, he prefers hamburgers, like Wimpy), although he eats spinach anyway should any trouble come his ...
