Popeye is a well-known comic character created by cartoonist Elzie Crisler Segar. He first appeared in 1929 as a minor character in the newspaper strip Thimble Theatre, although Olive Oyl, who would become his love interest, was a main character since the beginning. Popeye became more popular with readers and became the new central character, to the point where the comic was renamed Popeye in the 1970s. He also has adaptations for comic books, which were printed by several publishers.
