Why does Popeye have, 'one eye closed and one eye open'?!
Question: Some say it is because he had a stroke, others, maybe he got punched in the eyem or hit in the back of the head with a bottle and suffers nerve damage... Any other ideas?

I think it's just a facial expression imagined, that would go well with seamen, if you'll remember, the squinted eye was used a lot on old pirate movies, or perhaps because of the pipe he always had in his mouth.
Dude, he is a sailor. He's flirting with the ladies at his "ports of call".
smoke from his pipe got in his eye
he has one eye closed
because he got popped in the eye
that is why his name is Popeye
