[edit] RE: Sweepea and Olive

Sweepea was actually a foundling left on POPEYE'S door when his real mother couldn't afford to keep him. In later animated films, Sweepea lives with Olive, probably to free up Popeye from his responsibility as a parent, besides which, the morals of the time would have thought a bachelor sailor would look "bad" having a baby without a wife. Originally, Sweepea's name was Christopher Columbus ( Really, im NOT kidding {Named after another famous sailor} ) but since Popeye always refered to him as " my little Swee'pea ", eventually THAT name stuck!
