Behind the scenes

  • Popeye was created by Elzie Crisler Segar, and first debuted in his Thimble Theatre comic strip in 1929; published by King Features Syndicate. He was merely a supporting character at first, but his unexpected popularity from readers led Segar to make him the strip's main focus.
  • "Popeye" was only a nickname due to his appearance. In Popeye and Son, it was retconned to be his family name.
