text: does anyone remeber the name of popeye's real son? sweetpea was adopted...if that helps? i had heard this on jeopardy trivia,but for the life of me,i can't remeber... in the 1987 cartoon series "popeye and son", popeye's son is called popeye jr. he also has quadruplet nephews poopeye, peepeye, pipeye and pupeye.  swee'pea is popeye's adopted son in the comics but olive's cousin in the cartoons.  source: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/popeye
