John304 Posted April 21 Share Posted April 21 'Few people know that Popeye's character (Arm wrestle) really existed. His real name was Frank ā²ā² Rocky ā²ā² Fiegel, born in Poland in 1868. He emigrated with his family to America where in 1887 he joined the Navy. when he was with children he held the pipe with the corner of his mouth and told them the antics of his youth, often boasting of his physical strength and loudly claiming that spinach is the food that makes him invincible. Popeye's character creator Elzie Crisler Segar was born in Chester and was one of the children who had the privilege of hearing ā²ā² live ā²ā² the stories of the former sailor.'' 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
