built 664 days ago
Popeye first appeared on January 17, 1929 as a minor character in Segar's newspaper cartoon strip Thimble Theater, which had been running since 1919 with protagonists Olive Oyl, her brother Castor Oyl, and her boyfriend, Harold Hamgravy. The Popeye character became so popular that he was given a larger role. Olive eventually left Hamgravy to become Popeye's girlfriend, although she often displayed a fickle attitude towards the sailor. Castor Oyl continued to come up with get-rich-quick schemes, and enlisted Popeye in the misadventures.

With severed ties dissolving the protection offered by Bluto, the Oyls are subjected to the many whimsical taxes of the Taxman (Donald Moffat) and fall into poverty. Popeye proves his strength by knocking out Oxblood Oxheart (Peter Bray), "The Dirtiest Fighter Alive", in an afloat boxing ring. On learning of Swee'pea's potent foresight, the opportunistic Wimpy (Paul Dooley) takes the foundling to Sweethaven's gambling center to get rich on horse races (of the mechanical variety).
