What about 'Sweepee' and of course 'The Jeep'...
They named a vehicle after the latter... I think it was the Mitsubishi 4X4!
;D

Has anyone seen the film of Popeye? I think it was Robin Williams who played the pipe smoking spinach eating person.

Don't remember the Jeep? In a 1936 Segar comic strip, Olive Oyl received a box labeled "Eugene the Jeep." Eugene turned out to be a friendly little creature who made the sound jeep. He could predict the future, and when you asked him a question, he always answered truthfully, by wiggling his tail.
The following year, several manufacturers began developing an all-purpose vehicle for military use. The finished vehicle was designated with the letters g.p., which stood for "general purpose." Probably influenced by the then well-known Eugene the Jeep, the letter-name g.p. was modified and the comic strip jeep was adopted for the vehicle, and jeeps they have been ever since.
So now you know! ;D N.
