Happy Birthday Popeye

[Ysarex84 78]

Don't miss it! Popeye's birthday is January 17th. Popeye originated in Chester Illinois from the pen of Chester native E. C. Segar. Chester remembers and the town is peppered with granite statues of the comic strip's characters; Wimpy in the park, The Hag at McDonalds etc. At the entrance to town as you cross the Mississippi from Missouri there's a Visitor's center and bronze statue of Popeye.

Nice pics and interesting info on Popeye. I have a Popeye t-shirt so I'll be sure to wear it on the 17th.
