Swee'Pea (original) (raw)
- Swee'Pea (alternatively spelled Swee'pea and Sweapea on some titles and once called Sweep Pea) is a character in E. C. Segar's comic strip Thimble Theatre/Popeye and in the cartoon series derived from it. His name refers to the flower known as the sweet pea. Before his addition to the animated shorts, the name "Sweet Pea" was a term of affection used by main character Popeye. In the cartoon We Aim to Please, he addressed girlfriend Olive Oyl that way. As the years went on, Swee'Pea apparently aged enough to speak normally, and could throw punches if necessary; however, his appearance remained that of a crawling baby. In the strip for August 17, 1933, Popeye christens Swee'Pea as "Scooner Seawell Georgia Washenting Christiffer Columbia Daniel Boom". Although Swee'Pea remains his most common sobriquet, he is occasionally referred to as Scooner by Popeye and others in later strips. In the Sunday strips, which did not coordinate with the dailies, Swee'Pea is not introduced until 1934. (en)
- Erwtje (in het Engels Swee'Pea) is een stripfiguur bedacht door Elzie Segar en gebruikt in de strips van Thimble Theatre, die later werden hernoemd naar Popeye. De oorspronkelijke Engelse naam Swee'Pea is een woordspeling van de bloem Sweet Pea (welriekende lathyrus). Voordat het personage zijn intrede deed, gebruikte Popeye de term Erwtje soms als koosnaampje voor Olijfje. (nl)
