C'mon! He had a name, a buddy, and GREAT influence on the future. (Hints will follow, but your grade goes down and down.)

Rick and Jim didn't even have to wait for the final hint!
Gentlemen, there are a couple of Popeye and Eugene the Jeep cartoons on YouTube. Great fun! And, yes, I know the controversy over the origin of "Jeep." Being a Popeye fan and knowing of his popularity in the early 1940's, in my eye it's no contest.

Seems you're right but slow, Dennis. And I didn't even get the first hint posted before this character was identified. If I can find another example, I'll make sure it's tougher!
