 For over 75 years, generations have viewed the comedic actions of a unique figure in film history, Popeye the Sailor man.
Peopeye is the spinach-eating cartoon swab created for the "Thimble Theatre" comic strip on January 17, 1929 by E.C. Segar.
"Betty Boop" was born from that era and Max Fleischer who was a great fan of "Thimble Theatre," plucked Popeye, Olive Oyl and Bluto from the funny papers putting each into one animated film.
On July 14th, 1933, the comic strip trio appeared in one of the Betty Boop entries titled, "Popeye the Sailor."
Betty was used just briefly on screen as the film was designed to see if the sailor, who was a big hit with depression era audiences in newspapers, could translate that popularity to the big screen. Popeye, his cohort, Olive Oyl and nemises Brutus live one.
Popeye passed the test and his own series began three months later. Popeye has appeared in comic books, television cartoons, arcade and video games, hundreds of advertisements and peripheral products, and including a 1980 live-action film directed by Robert Altman starring comedian Robin Williams as Popeye.
