His real name was Frank "Rocky" Fiegel. He was born in 1868 in Poland and, as a child, immigrated to the United States with his parents, who settled down in a small town in Illinois. As a young man, Rocky went to sea. After a 20 year career as a sailor in the Merchant Marines, Fiegel retired. He was later hired by Wiebusch's Tavern in the city of Chester, Illinois as a ‘Bouncer’ to maintain order in the rowdy bar.

Rocky quickly developed a reputation for always being involved in fighting(and usually winning). As a result, he had a deformed eye ("Pop-eye"). He also ‘always’ smoked his pipe, so he always spoke out of one side of his mouth. In his spare time as a Bouncer, Rocky would entertain the customers by regaling them with exciting stories of adventures he claimed to have had over his career as a sailor crossing the ‘Seven Seas.’

The creator of Popeye, Elzie Crisler Segar, grew up in Chester and, as a young man, met Rocky at the tavern and would sit for hours listening to the old sailor’s amazing ‘sea’ stories.’ Years later, Segar became a cartoonist and developed a comic strip called ‘Thimble Theater.’ He honoured Fiegel him by asking if he could model his new comic strip character, ‘Popeye the Sailor Man,’ after him. Naturally Fiegel was flattered and agreed.

Segar claimed that ‘Olive Oyl,’ along with other characters, was also loosely based on an actual person. She was Dora Paskel, owner of a small grocery store in Chester. She apparently actually looked much like the Olive Oyl character in his comics. He claimed she even dressed much the same way.

Through the years, Segar kept in touch with Rocky and always helped him with money; giving him a small percentage of what he earned from his ‘Popeye’ illustrations.

How many more times will the cold come here, will happen here?

How many more windows will break?

How many more of us will the spring wound while we are still young?

How many more religious icons will we have to put up?

My answer is sewed with wrinkles on my forehead - they are worth a thousand words.

My answer is weaved with white mallows in my memory, forged from mothers' tears.

How many times will the turtledow sing at the dawn?

How many warm days will we have?

How many more ashes will be stabbed by lead?

How many more oaks will be uprooted?

How many more of us will fly off with their dreams to the West?

How many more of us will again depart to the East?

How many times will the apple tree near the hata will bloom...

Until we make it to the other side of the cold winter river?

Океан Ельзи - Мукачево | Mukachevo

Покоління тих, кому болить, Тих, хто не мовчить.

Ми не хочем ніколи існувати без імені! Ми не хочем ніколи засинати у камені! Ми нікому не будем віддавати ім'я своє! Ті, ким були, ті ми і є!

Generation of those who care [note: wordplay, one of Ukrainian expressions for charing about something is "to be in pain about something", literal translation is "those who are in pain"] Those who are not silent.

We don't want to ever exist without a name! We don't want to ever fall asleep in stone! We will not give our name away to anyone! Who we used to be is who we still are!

Famous Ukrainian rock band Okean Elzy (Океан Ельзи) performs an Ukrainian traditional song "Ой, чий там кінь стоїть" during the concert on the Independence Day of Ukraine (День Незалежності України) in 2018.

In Poland this song is known as "Dumka Bohuna".

Have I mentioned, that it was the first song I learned to sing in Ukrainian?

… Вас не пускають чужі думки Вам зручно і так Може треба купити хоч раз Квиток на літак На вільний літак

Ікони не плачуть Коли ніхто не бачить Холод не лякає Того хто з вогнем А слова з журналу Так безмежно мало Мало щоб відчути Для чого ми живем Для чого ми живем

Here's my new art of Popeye that I did while on holiday. Apologises for yellow as I don't have a scanner or a good lighting.

Океан Ельзи - Той день (That Day) feat YAKTAK, KOLA, SHUMEI, Jerry Heil

I will draw that day where I'm flying, And that day where I'm singing, That day... And I'll see a seagull flying, soaring Up in the sky - not in a swamp On that day. Just give me a sheet.
