Talk:Eugene the Jeep

More Plagiarism
Other Uses section, paragraph two, really looks like it was pasted wholesale from an outside article. After all, it makes reference to Eugene the Jeep in a way that you can tell the context was not a main article about Eugene the Jeep. Since that is the feature of this Wikipedia entry, the paragraph looks really out of place. It's as if someone pasted a paragraph in an article about tomatoes that said, "Hey guys, what about tomatoes, too? Aren't they also a good source of vitamins?" tharsaile (talk) 15:44, 8 August 2017 (UTC)

Plagiarism
This entry contains plagarized information from a much more thorough article written by Jim Allen in Fourwheeler (March 1995). -google


 * When I wrote the article I gathered info from a few web sites and don't recall any that credited Mr. Allen. Most had the same info but didn't provide a credit.  I will rearrange the info to not be such a straight copy. Dismas 04:43, 23 Jan 2005 (UTC)

"Always told the truth" and "The only thing he ever said was 'Jeep'"? Is it just me or do these seem mutually incompatible? On the other hand, if you never say anything that has any meaning in any language, you aren't telling any lies either... J I P | Talk 13:23, 2 March 2006 (UTC)
 * I see what you mean. I've cleared it up a bit.  Maybe it makes more sense now.  Dismas|(talk) 19:36, 2 March 2006 (UTC)

EUGENE THE JEEP'S TAIL
I recall that Eugene the Jeep's tail had an odd zig-zag shape, caused by it having been caught in a screen door. If this is verified, I suggest it be added to his description. Thanks. GeneB 20:58, 20 December 2006 (UTC)

Eugene the Jeep originated with a straight or slightly curving tail, which sometimes formed the shape of a question mark. Only later versions have the zig-zag shape. If interested, I could research the dates the tail changes took place. Lowell (70.230.188.49 - talk)

Get a better picture
The illustration only vaguely resembles the classic Eugene in the original E. Segar strip. Could not a better image be found? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 173.16.252.144 (talk) 20:47, 28 February 2009 (UTC)

What, nothing about gold?
I remember from my childhood, reading a Popeye serial in the newspaper in the 1960s, one of Eugene's amazing attributes was the ability to follow the scent of gold. I'm surprised there's no mention of it here. Based on that strip, all my life I thought the ability to sniff out gold was a jeep's primary attribute. ~Amatulić (talk) 19:05, 18 August 2010 (UTC)
