Question: are bluto and brutus the same?
Answer: Once Brutus became a regular in the comic strip he was no longer related to the Sea Hag. During the run of Charlton Comics' Popeye series, Brutus again became the son of the Sea Hag. For two cartoons in 1963 he was called "Pleeto". It is generally accepted that Bluto and Brutus are one and the same.
