"Pappy is a degenerate father who has abandoned the son as soon as he was born: his excuse is that he had to buy a packet of cigarettes.
We know Pappy under a lot of names: Father of Edge, Arm of Wood, Poppa…
Popeye - PappyPalmiro Boschesi wrote about this character:
“He’s sullen, quarrelsome, ladies’ man, irritable, impolite and brutal; he’s 99 years old and however he is in perfect form. Women are his great passion: he even hides in the children’s prams to be kissed by the ladies”.
He tried to take advantage of his likeness with the son in order to conquer Olive, cutting his beard. He fell in love with his future daughter in law and he tried to marry her; but the Popeye’s revenge was quick and Popeye punched Pappy many times.
In an unforgettable adventure called “The Search for Popeye's Poppa” and begun on August 4th ,1936, Popeye leaves with all his tribe in search of the father."
