User blog comment:Man of Myth is Dayman/Is Franky based on another cartoon?!/@comment-3119203-20111012014544

Thats a great observation, but I dont think Franky was based off of Popeye. They do share some resemblances, and Oda may have drawn some influence from Popeye's massive forearms for Franky.....by the way, Popeye is one of the great American cartoons.
