Popeye The Sailorman was created by cartoonist Elzie Segar in 1929 and first appeared in the comic strip Thimble Theatre. Although Thimble Theatre was originally based on the exploits of Olive Oyl s family, Popeye soon became the star.


He became a film star in 1933 with an appearance in a Betty Boop cartoon before going to star in almost 600 cartoons. His obsession with spinach helped increase consumption in America by 33%, and a grateful industry erected a statue in his honour in Crystal City in Texas in 1937, making him the first cartoon character to be immortalised in public sculpture!


As of January 1, 2009, 70 years since the death of his creator, Segar's character of Popeye (though not the various films, TV shows, theme music and other media based on him) has entered the public domain in most countries, but remains under copyright in the United States.
