PopeyePopeye.

Popeye the Sailor Man is a fictional character created by Elzie Crisler Segar, first appearing on January 17, 1929, in the daily King Features comic strip Thimble Theater. The strip was in its tenth year when Popeye made his debut, but the one-eyed sailor quickly became the lead character, and Thimble Theater became one of King Features' most popular properties during the early 1930s. Popeye became the suitor of longtime Thimble Theater star Olive Oyl, and Segar introduced new supporting characters such as adopted son Swee'Pea and friend J. Wellington Wimpy, as well as foes like the Sea Hag and Bluto.
