Popeye made his first public appearance on January 17, 1929 in Elzie Segar's then 10-year-old comic strip, "Thimble Theatre," which originally revolved around Olive Oyl's family. Popeye quickly eclipsed older characters to become the star of the strip. With Popeye came a host of new, off-beat funny folks such as Swee'Pea, the "infink" Popeye adopted; J. Wellington Wimpy, the world's most hamburger-obsessed moocher; and Brutus, the hairy "heavy" with the glass jaw. Segar had a genius for creating strong, memorable characters the entire world knows and loves.
