I love the old comics of the WWII era. I remember them well.
Legend has it that the Jeep was named for "Eugene the Jeep" a popular character from Popeye Comics of the era.

We also had "The Sad Sack" and "Smilin' Jack" just to mention a couple of other comics.

(I still have a couple of the old Ration Stamp books that were issued to my family during WWII. They are safely "tucked away".)
G'Nite all.
God Bless

Actually, originally the 3/4 ton command car was called the jeep with the 1/4 to being called the peep. But that changed with the 3/4 to command car being called the command car and the 1/4 top being called the jeep.
