Information
The
year is 1929, January 17th, to be exact. A 10-year-old
comic strip by Elzie Seagar: "The Thimble Theatre", which
originally revolved around Olive Oyl's family, entertained
a new character, not too brilliant, not too handsome,
not too strong - it was a sailor, standing in the harbor
- to the question: "ARE YOU A SAILOR" he replied: "Ja
THINK I'M A COWBOY" - He was hired - and slowly, but surely,
got read of most of the old characters in the strip and
received the lead together with his love - from those
days till today - Ms. Oyl.
Popeye
is an underdog with a long fuse and a keen sense of fair
play. Everyone identifies with Popeye when he finally
says, "Thas' all I can stands, 'cause I can't stands no
more!"
