Have you heard of Popeye the Sailor Man? 

No, not the restaurant. The classic animated cartoon series that charmed the world? If your answer is a nonchalant shrug of the shoulders, then brace yourself because "This is definitely a thing that tells age."

I once asked my children about Popeye, and they replied with a big “No”. As a fan of the iconic cartoon, it's difficult to imagine that there are youngsters these days who don't know who Popeye is. For me, it was just a show, but for them, it's like a tale from bygone days.

As a child growing up in Jamaica, Popeye represented a dynamic character, defying gravity, upending structures, always spinning whirligigs and turning up epic nosebleeds with his beloved Olive Oyl, who her-self bit straight from classics too faded for millennial memory to see, written to life in E.C. Segar's animated world. 

But alas, it seems that memories attached to Popeye are waning for the younger generation who have transplanted the name to the renowned chicken chain location rather than the hearty sailor. 

However, it's worthwhile noting that the characters we all loved from the series, Popeye and Olive Oyl, originated in E.C. Segar's hometown of Chester, Illinois and were reportedly inspired by real people. The iconic male figure, Popeye, drew inspiration from Frank Fiegel, known as "Rocky," a rugged-looking man with tribal tattoos on his arms, who could devour spinach like it was candy. While Olive Oyl was a familiar woman in Chester; she was often associated with being unusually thin. Her character shared many of her real-life model Dora Paskel's idiosyncrasies, who was said to have had a unique personality that charmed the residents of Chester.

In a world of fast-paced technology and virtual realities, cherished characters from simpler times like Popeye represent glimpses of a time long gone, to link us to memories unforgettable. If you know about Popeye the Sailor Man, it probably means that somewhere along the line, you happily collided with this iconic figure and his adventures and experiences alive. And although its time seems to be receding, its memory lingers on, reminding us of the glorious moments we shared, interpretations exploitable for personal imaginings or measures of collective hope.  So, do you know this cartoon? If the answer is YES, you're old, dear. Very, very old.
