Trivia[]
- Matey (also known as "Sonny") was a non-Segar character who filled in as a substitute for Swee'Pea.
- Wheatena put so much money into the broadcast rights paid to KFS and into leasing national airtime through the NBC-WEAF Network that their remaining budget did not afford them enough money to contract Popeye voice actor Jack Mercer or Mae Questel, who had voiced Swee'Pea in the cartoons.
