"That fact alone means the guy must be ancient. Jeeps were "Jeeps" in WWII."

Yeah, but "Eugene the Jeep" appeared in Popeye in 1936 - five years before Jeeps were being manufactured...

You know that thought did cross my mind.

I remember asking my dad about "the Jeep" in Popeye and which came first. He didn't know.

Off to google I go.

Before I do, I wonder if Jeep was sued by E.C. Segar first.
