[edit] Real life Popeye?

After some exensive research, I believe the cartoon "Popeye the Salor Man" by Elzie Crisler Segar was based on a real life caractor named Zebulon Northrup Tilden aka: Zeb Tilden . His boat was the Alice S. Wentworth which sank in Boston Harbor tied up to The Athanis Pier 4 Restorant in 1966. Zeb was tall,crossed eyed,very strong,smoked a corn-cob pipe,loved to cook,especialy green vegitables,was a ladies man,(married 3 times)was fond of talking and singing to himself habitually and he looked like the caractor in the cartoon.

[edit] Article name

Current Wikipedia practice is to list people under the name they are best known, and then list their full or real name in the first paragraph. I've moved this page accordingly. --Chowbok 16:18, Apr 16, 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Addition of a "disambiguation" topic.

There is a "People Mover" train station named Segar too so I'm gonna modify the page by merely adding an "Other Meanings" section -- no more, no less, no distractions, and no disruptions.

Notify me if there's problems

[edit] Trivia

Segar's given names, Elsie Crisler, are borrowed for the name of Pullapart Boy's zombie puppy in Steven Weissman's "Yikes!" comics. Asat 06:49, 28 August 2007 (UTC)
