The Popeye The Sailor Story

image credit: Spiff

Popeye the Sailor made his comic strip debut in January of 1929. Popeye was originally just one of the many characters in a comic series drawn by Elzie Segar called Thimble Theater. Popeye was a one-eyed, 34-year-old semi-deformed-looking sailor with a severe speech impediment.

The other main characters are Popeye's great love/girlfriend, the anorexic-looking Olive Oyl and his arch-nemesis, another sailor named Bluto (later changed to “Brutus" for legal reasons).
