mikie Posted June 7, 2018 Share #1 Posted June 7, 2018 Hi, Yesterday I wore a patriotic themed Popeye T-shirt my wonderful daughter gave me. It got me thinking that I don't remember ever seeing any WWII era, or later, insignia featuring him. It seems he would have been a natural. If there is anyone who would know, it's some of you around here. If you know of anything, please post. I'd love to see some. Thanks! Mikie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BILL THE PATCH Posted June 8, 2018 Share #2 Posted June 8, 2018 Good question, I know Popeye did a lot of propaganda cartoons during the war. Would be nice to see some ww2 items featuring him Sent from my Moto G (5) Plus using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BILL THE PATCH Posted June 8, 2018 Share #5 Posted June 8, 2018 Pretty cool, Popeye was one of my favorite cartoons, especially the 1930 to 1940's ones. So a 1950 patch is the earliest so far. Wonder why none from ww2?, Sent from my Moto G (5) Plus using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikie Posted June 8, 2018 Author Share #6 Posted June 8, 2018 Thanks for showing the patches. He was one of my faves too. Like I said, it seems like he would have been a popular subject. Guess nobody liked spinach. Mikie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
