Popeye the sailor man, the spinach-fueled, pipe-smoking sailor, is not just an iconic cartoon character; he’s now a certified pop-culture legend at 95. In celebration of this significant milestone, the National Day Calendar committee has officially declared a day in his honor, naming it National #PopeyetheSailorManDay.
The committee, recognizing Popeye as a tough and fit character with tons of grit, expressed their admiration in a statement, declaring, “Today, we are taking epic strides to honor this legendary sailor as one of America’s most renowned pop-culture icons.”
National #PopeyetheSailorManDay
National #PopeyetheSailorManDay is no small feat. Among over 20,000 proposed additions, it is one of fewer than 20 new holidays added to the 2024 calendar, solidifying Popeye’s enduring impact on American culture.
In a nod to Popeye’s commitment to nutritious eating and fitness, the Good Housekeeping’s Nutrition Lab has bestowed upon him the prestigious “Good Housekeeping Nutritionist Approved Emblem” in their January/February 2024 issue. This recognition not only celebrates Popeye’s 95th anniversary but also acknowledges his decades-long dedication to healthy living, fitness, and his contributions to ocean conservation.
