| Popeye | 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!"
