Hola a todos hoy les comparto el retrato a lápiz de el verdadero rostro de popeye. Se trata de Frank "Rocky" Fiegel el marino en el cual se inspiro el creador de este personaje Elzie Crisler Segar que apareció por primera vez en una tira cómica un 17 de Enero de 1929. Fiegel fue un polaco que residió en el estado de Illinois y, según pudo saberse, era una persona que solía tener un temperamento extremo que lo llevaba a pelearse continuamente, incluso sin medir oponentes; llegando a tomarse a golpes de puño con hombres mucho más grandes que él. Lo que llamaba la atención era que, si bien era una persona pequeña, su fuerza no lo era y en casi todas las oportunidades salía victorioso. Fiegel además, era conocido por otras facetas: su amabilidad y –sobre todo- su cariño hacia los niños y su apodo, “Pop eye” ( ojo saltón).

Hello everyone today I share with you the pencil portrait of the real face of popeye. This is Frank "Rocky" Fiegel the sailor who inspired the creator of this character Elzie Crisler Segar who first appeared in a comic strip on January 17, 1929.
Fiegel was a Pole who lived in the state of Illinois and, according to what was known, he was a person who used to have an extreme temper that led him to fight continuously, even without measuring opponents; he even got into fist fights with men much bigger than him. What was striking was that, although he was a small person, his strength was not and in almost every opportunity he was victorious. Fiegel was also known for other facets: his kindness and -above all- his affection for children and his nickname, "Pop eye".
