For awhile in the strip, Popeye had a dog (of the non-magical type). What was the dog's name.

There were two dogs that appeared in the strip - Birdseed and Chester.

He had a dog named "Chester"? Hmm, I wonder where Segar got that name. Could it have something to do with a city off of Illinois Highway 3?

Birdseed was the name that I was looking for! Chester was quite some many years later.

Someone told me that the reason Wimpy always wanted to pay on Tuesday is that Tuesday is the traditional pay-off day for bookies. What does everyone think?
I know Segar was a sports fan. Did he play the ponies too?
